Nursing Career change at 50: Hospice?

[joy09]

I have an opportunity to bid on a hospital based hospice RN position. I have decided not to continue in a physician office because of the multitasking, fast faced environment. I don't have the same level of mental and physical abilities I've had in the past few years. I am looking for something to do and grow in over the next 5-15 years. I have a master's degree and could pursue advanced practice nursing in this field after I have experienced the direct patient care/staff nurse role. I am concerned this area would be too stessful and I am not looking for that. I want minimal technical tasks but enjoy physical assessment, teamwork and dealing as much with emotional, spiritual and mental health as with physical condition. Does it sound like this would be a possible match?

It does to me as long as you are comfortable with death/dying. Better to something new than than not - Good luck!
