About

I have been a hospice nurse for nineteen years, most of them in home hospice across metro Atlanta and the counties south of it. I sit with families in living rooms and figure out what they actually need to hear that day. I train new hospice staff on symptom management at the end of life and on how to answer the question about how long. I also review patient education materials for a home health company and tell them when the reading level is too high or the pictures are wrong. I speak at state hospice meetings a couple of times a year. Most of what I teach comes from getting it wrong early on and having a charge nurse correct me in the hallway.
