Work History
Hospice Nurse
Parkview Health
Fort Wayne, IN
10.2017 - Current
- Worked in the Supportive Care Unit, providing inpatient hospice care. Completed shift assessments, medication administration, and collaborated with the interdisciplinary team on the patient's plan of care. Also functioned as a nurse lead when needed.
- Transitioned to visiting hospice patients in their homes and nursing homes.
- Currently working at Parkview Regional Medical Center, evaluating patients for hospice level of care per Medicare guidelines. I speak with patients and families about hospice services and philosophy. I then collaborate with Hospice MD on my evaluation, review medical history, and current symptom needs. Pending the provider's decision, if the patient is accepted for inpatient hospice care, I will place orders. If the patient is accepted for hospice care at home or to a nursing facility, I submit a request with scheduling for an admission nurse to visit once the patient is discharged. I coordinate with the inpatient case manager, the discharge plan, and hospice. I also contact the provider to e-scribe appropriate comfort medications.
