Summary
I have been an RN for nearly 9 years. I have held positions in hospice, long-term care, assisted living and acute care with over 1.5 years in hospice care and 3 years being in supervisory positions. Nursing is my passion. Being a hospice nurse is by far the most fulfilling career I have had. I believe the end of one's life is one of the most special times to be a part of.
