In this episode I return to reviewing my series on Avoiding Hospice Burnout.

I cover several issues that I have observed causing major burnout for hospice nurses.

1. Are you waiting for hospice to get easier?
2. Are you unwilling to work an 8 hour day?
3. Do you struggle with autonomy?
4. Are you unwilling to turn off your work phone after hours?
5. Are you unwilling to learn to chart at the bedside?
6. Do you have to always be right?
7. Do you have to fix every problem?
8. Is it you or your agency causing you to consider leaving hospice?

During this episode I don’t pull any punches. The issues above are what I have seen be the leading cause of burnout for hospice nurses. If we are unable to master the list above, this work may not be what we should be doing.

I don’t want anyone listening to this episode to quit being a hospice nurse. Still, this work is not for everyone. It’s okay to realize that hospice is not for you.

At the end of this episode I spend some time discussing The Hospice Nursing Community. This community has a private group dedicated to hospice leadership.

In the last week I have taken a hospice administrator position here in the Kansas City area. I will be sharing some of my experiences in the private group for hospice leadership.

I also share that I have made a change to the pricing structure. The monthly subscription is now $19.99 and there is also an option to pay $199.00 for a lifetime membership that does not expire.
