Hospice Work Reflection
As a hospice volunteer, I travel with nurses on their rounds to meet with different patients and assist them with taking notes, changing bandages, and checking vitals. However, my favorite part of my hospice work is when I am sent out on my own to go visit patients. During this time, I’ll simply sit and keep the patient company, usually in order to give their caregiver a break to run errands. I’ll often read to them, help them write letters, or just encourage them to talk about their life
