I am completely new to hospice nursing. Would some of you extend yourselves to forming a recommended reading list? I would be very appreciative . -Deanna Oh, and can we make it a sticky?

I am sorry that you had to endure that. (((Hugs)))

I am seriously considering relocating. I am a single mom and would really like to find a safe, friendly community that is a good place to raise kids and where I could afford to keep feeding us the three meals a day we have gotten so used to. Any sug...

Howdy folks! I was just curious; has anyone done travel nursing as a hospice nurse/case manager? I still want to see more of the US and I am feelin' froggy lately....anybody know of anyone that took a temp job in hospice to be able to experience more...

Would not touch it. Have heard too many heartbreaking stories of corruption. Although I know many have had positive experiences, to me the risk is in no way worth the reward... if you are rewarded at all. ... shameful

Winning the lottery. :wink2:

the online program is the same cost for all... :nuke:

...Just wanted to let everyone know that I was accepted to Frontier. They absolutely turned out to be the most sane, wise and time/cost effective route for me as an ADN. Thanks to everyone who helped

thank you both :)

Hello all and thank you in advance for reading and hopefully replying. I am currently an ADN/RN with just under three years experience in nursing. I am seeking to become an Adult Health Nurse Practitioner or FNP. Because the bulk of my clinical expe...

Hello- New here and not sure how to make this a sticky or if that would be allowed. I know that this is a volatile topic that has been expanded on somewhat already, but I am really just looking for a simple sticky list of facilities that use it, with...

If you have any stories, recommendations, tips etc. I would love to hear. Also, if you know, what specialties are useful there as I know nursing is so vastly different. Seems like I remember meeting an ICU nurse who had even worked in Russia doing fl...

Well...I guess I will gear up for a long wait and possible disappointment. Thanks for the info .

I have had two patients that developed them. The second one broke out with a them all over her back (including her coccyx), her legs and (yep) her heels. They looked like giant purple/black blood blisters that came up overnight. Horrifying for the fa...

Hey nursegirl, how have things been going with this particular pt (if he is still with us)? How are you? I really appreciated your post.

(standing at the front of the group meeting) "My name is Deanna, and I too am a bake-a-holic."

All in all, that is a profound statement my dear....I need to post this on my fridge as a reminder to myself. Reminds me of the serenity prayer.

Hello, I currently work as an RN, CM in hospice. My previous job was a caseload of 16-22 (pts that must be seen a min of Qweek and sometimes Qday). Current caseload is between 10-14 with pts split between home care and SNFs. Since hospice is becomin...

Please let me know where you both are! :heartbeat you are welcome to PM me. thanx so much.

I know you won't like it but I say...it is his life as much as it is his death. Let him choose. You only have his best interests at heart- I know however, this is truly up to him. Have you communicated directly with his pastor/priest/etc? Maybe the c...

gee, sunday morning breakfast will never be the same now. :uhoh21:

((((((((motorcyclemama)))))))))) (hugs) You did the right thing- you just got bitten by a passive-aggressive, bullying culture. It's sickening how many truly disturbed folks there are in health"care". C'mon over to hospice :redpinkhe . 'taint perfect...

hmmm.....well, ibuprofen has been very effective for the majority of my pts c bone mets/pain, esp when combined c dexamethasone.
