When was in nursing school at Texas Woman’s University, I knew that I wanted to work in hospice. I graduated in 1999, and I began my career as an oncology nurse at a large Dallas hospital. Eventually, I moved into hospice care, and it was this article that helped me understand the importance of providing my patients with compassionate end-of-life care. I hope you find it as meaningful as I did when I first read it.
