Bunting 15 Survey: Hospice care
Settings

+
As oncology nurses, we are sometimes called to address end-of-life care, concerns and conditions with patients/families, including hospice. These are poignant times that test our knowledge, interpersonal and bedside skills, as well as our capacities for caring. As a unit governance project, we are assessing the needs of our staff regarding hospice care. Our goal is to increase staff comfort level in discussing hospice with patients and their families. Please take quiz by July 8th.
