Practice Setting
Inpatient hospice facility
Preceptorship Description
As the NP for a 15-bed inpatient hospice facility, I admit patients, develop and help implement the patient's plan of care, round on each patient daily and makes changes as needed, meet with patients and families to determine goals of care and help facilitate discharge planning. While symptom management is our area of expertise, patients with a terminal illness also have other ongoing medical issues that continue to require management. It is a great experience for NP students in acute care as well as palliative care.
