If you’re a nurse, you’ve probably heard of hospice nursing. But if you’re not, the term might seem like a little bit of a puzzle. So what is hospice nursing?
Hospice nursing is a type of specialized care, usually for people who have terminal illnesses. Hospice nurses work with patients and their families to help them cope with the challenges that come with dying, including pain management, emotional support, and other needs.
The goal of hospice nursing is to ensure that every moment leading up to death is as comfortable as possible for both patient and family.
