What Do Hospice Nurses Do?

Hospice nurses are registered nurses (RNs) who specialize in end-of-life care. They work closely with patients and their families, providing medical care and support to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Hospice nurses also help families understand the patient’s illness, manage medications, and make informed decisions about care. In addition to medical care, hospice nurses also provide emotional support to the patients.

They listen, comfort, and offer a shoulder to lean on during one of the most difficult times in their lives. Hospice nurses also work closely with other members of the hospice care team, such as social workers, chaplains, and volunteers, to ensure that patients and their families receive comprehensive, coordinated care.

The goal of hospice care is to help patients manage symptoms and maintain their comfort, dignity, and quality of life.

Pain and Symptom Management

Emotional Support

Hospice nurses understand that end-of-life care is a difficult time for patients and their families. They offer emotional support, comfort, and understanding to help everyone involved cope with the stress and sadness of the situation.

Medication Management

Hospice nurses work with the patient’s physician to manage their medications and ensure that they receive the right dose at the right time.
