[QUOTE=Rrae;679111]I did not realize you worked in Hospice!!
ANYBODY who works in Hospice deserves a HUGE appreciation HUG!

I've seen up close and first hand, the precious value there is in those who give their time to help the loved one during their last days.....not to mention the family members who are struggling and drained physically and emotionally as they come to terms with this very sad time...... priceless....

Rae, I was a Hospice nurse until May, did homecare and hospice for 8 years here in the hills surrounding good ol nowhere. My old body hated the driving more then the hours on my feet. So I have given my bod a break (I think) and am now working in surgery and in acute care at a small hospital.
But I still remember how to do it, and how ever so important it is to tell your friends it is ok to go. Yet we get as much from the patients and their families as they get from our care and support.

Its just a thing I do in my spare min as SUPER NURSE.
