“What I love about working for Hospice is that every day is different, and I always feel challenged. As soon as I started, I knew I had found my niche. Having worked in an emergency room and then later in home health, I realized that Hospice was truly the best of both worlds. You never know what will come up – which was an average day in the ER as well, and like in home health, our Hospice patients are truly the ‘captains of their own ships;’ they are in charge of their care and we get to simply honor that and support them. If you have confidence in your clinical skills, are able to work independently and have an innate sensitivity to the interpersonal dynamics of families, then I would consider nursing for Hospice of Lancaster County.”
