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.
- Are you waiting for hospice to get easier?
- Are you unwilling to work an 8 hour day?
- Do you struggle with autonomy?
- Are you unwilling to turn off your work phone after hours?
- Are you unwilling to learn to chart at the bedside?
- Do you have to always be right?
- Do you have to fix every problem?
- 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.
As always, don’t forget to call, text or email to leave feedback! I would love to hear from you!
