Wow, after reading this I feel even better about the Hospice Company I just hired on with....2 weeks company orientation with 6 weeks with a preceptor, issued cell phone and laptop, 12-15 caseload, generous PTO, we do have admissions nurses, we also have a weekend and on call night team, great team support, everyone loves what they do, flexibility with schedule, incentives for gaining certifications ....I could go on and on raving about them. It is such a change from the previous place where I worked where most everyone was so burnt out and miserable. I am so blessed and thankful to be part of the family of Hospice.

So glad to hear this! I just accepted a position with a very reputable hospice company and I am so excited to get started. Hoping this will be my niche too :)

Thank you so much for that information. I recently accepted a position with a Hospice LTC team and my specific assignment is 12-15 patients at 3 ALFs, I start orientation soon and I am very excited for this opportunity. I have been on a very busy med-surg floor for almost 3 years and am so ready for this change. Any other information about ALF hospice nursing would be greatly appreciated.

What is the difference in Home Hospice and LTC Hospice, what is a typical day like?
