HOSPICE NURSE | THINGS I WISH I KNEW BEFORE I STARTED | NEW NURSE

[@cybernurse5965]

Hey, if you get a chance, can you make a video giving tips on how to best comfort the family or do the right things on day of death? I don’t mean the call the coroner and the duties but I mean the things that can possibly make the family feel comforted. I don’t have a lot of experience and I am certainly open to what has worked for you with families

Great video. Do you have any thoughts or advice for non-medical people getting into hospice volunteering and end of life doula training?

Good video. I am an ICU nurse 24 years and now retired and became a hospice nurse. I really enjoy it but I work PRN and not full-time. Negative documentation is not taught in nursing school and the best help for me was a book that Amity staffing sells. It is a book that helps you describe decline in hospice patients. This booklet saved my life. I did not buy the large systems book they have but only the documentation help pamphlet. It is absolutely excellent and I am glad I found it early on because I am somewhat of a new hospice nurse only one year. It gives you the proper language to paint an accurate picture of a declining patient and the right words to ensure your patient maintains eligibility. Thank you for all your videos.

I've been a telemetry nurse for 2 years now and I am starting as a CM soon. I am so nervous, but your channel is helping so much!

[@HospiceNurseAllie]

I’m so happy to hear that and I’m so excited for you to start! I have no doubt you’re going to do great!

Thank you for you. Im a new CM. Been a nurse for 30+years but not for Hospice. Your vidoes have been fantastic for me, and I truely appreciate them.

[@HospiceNurseAllie]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching them and I am so happy to hear you got something out of them! Sometimes I wonder if I ramble too much 😂

Exactly!! It is a totally different way of assessing a patient and then painting that picture.
