Hello! I’m a new grad on orientation in the ICU. I’m lucky to be with supportive staff, and I’m over the moon with what I’m learning and experiencing.

While I love the challenge and frequent chaos of caring for a critical patient, I find the aspect of the job I feel most effective with is comforting dying patients. Provide pain meds, holding hands, and gently talking to them at the end. I’m curious about the transition from ICU to hospice or palliative care? Is this common among ICU nurses?

I'm not sure if it is common but I do have several friends that made that transition. Being a hospice nurse is really really hard so if you have the heart for it then I would say they need you. It can be really good to find a good hospice nurse and it is a lot of mental load to bare.
