Hi I am in the very early stages of Hospice Certification I went to the web site you mentioned but didn't see anything related to Hospice Cert I have also heard there is a Core Curriculum and study guide that is good as well Any advice would be greatly appreciated Marty

Hi We have many LTC patients in out Hospice almost 4o% sometimes WE just hired a consultant who agreed that the service we give to them is not only needed but very needed in this area. We have 4 LTC facilities and 2 assisted living .. It works quite well so far and we are growing everyday I believe this populatio and the familes benefit greatly from this service Marty

Congratualtions to you all! Would any of your help those of us wanting to do the same ? How did you study? What books were used, the name of them ect? Thank you so much Marty:coollook:

Could you tell me is there a Core Curriculum book for studying for the exam? I am early in my goal to get certified and was wondering what study material -books or CDs are good to have

I am waiting but congrats to all of you What book did you use for study or did you go to a class ? I would like to start studying

What is name of the core curriculum book?

I too Micro at CCC a few years ago, I believe I got a B and it truly wasn' ALOt of work but you do have to keep up with everything

count me it too! Doesn't everyone think this way ?

Cheers my comrad I feel exactly the same , those who do know talk and whisper those who don't know speak cruelly of ANY who is different than them Care is care , I am a nurse , that is my job and most of the time I love it when those who don't aren't getting in the way with their own uneasy prejudice :)

I cannot see why any hospital would prevent anyone from visiting unless the person was harmful to the patient or causing some untoward response. Gay , straight or otherwise..

Always protect yourself first this may end up being nothing but you need to take care of you There is no way , the DON , can know if ALL the residents are free of disease UNLESS she had them all tested on admit, for ALL the diseases , which I doubt happened. Take care of you kid, your young and healthy , stay that way

Comfort measures to me are just that to keep ones last moments here as comfortable as possib

I agree , Drs too are very overworked as our we The fact they tried to get more Drs is to be commended the fact they were unable to very very sad

Yikers I think I would go with the call to the state anonymously , this is not only a dangerous practice but which of you out there would want your family member is such a situation?

Very very scary I agree, if they want to pass the meds then go to school and learn it all , not just mechanics of it
