    Hospice or School Nurse?

    KJoRN81 replied to wishfulbiscuits's topic in General Nursing

    Hello! I worked inpatient hospice for 2.5 years & it was amazing. Hospice has a different vibe, obviously different outcome than any other specialty, which really tones down the mood. I have never...
