| Kathy Rose/Nurse - It helps to have a background in neonatal nursing postpartum combined with the hospice experience in pediatrics. Bottom line, I was an adult care nurse for the first 10 years of my career. I moved over to what has turned out to be an incredibly rewarding field and mission. The Hospice and Palliative Nurses association has a website with information about the field that may be helpful. It's a fairly new field, and there aren't a lot of hospices that offer pediatrics or perinatal programs. Perinatal hospice at this point hasn't been reimburseable so hospices haven't yet had many opportunities to care for families like the Lauxes. |
