Jon Templeman, BSN, RN, posted this blog on the American Nurse Today website in November 2017. I suggest you give it a read, not just for what he shares about his experience as a hospice nurse, but to see the comments at the bottom. Other nurses offer encouragement and patients’ families offer their thanks. If you’re a hospice nurse, remember that patients and families may not always thank you for the care you provide, but they’re grateful for you and everything you do.
