		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sure most of us were riveted to our TV&#8217;s, radios, and computers on April 19th when the citizens of Boston and surrounding areas were advised to stay home and lock their doors.  Mass transit and normally busy intersections were empty.  Schools were not in session.  Businesses were closed. Working with hospice and needing to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve encountered some interesting beliefs in my time as a hospice nurse.  Before making visits or calls, we are expected to at least glance at a &#8216;basic information&#8217; screen about the patient.  I&#8217;ve always been intrigued when I come across an entry that says some variation of, &#8220;Do not mention the word hospice in front [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My new hospice job is going pretty well.  I really like it.  It&#8217;s been an adjustment, but worth the stress of change. Overall, I&#8217;ve been pretty surprised at how little I know/knew about how people die naturally. In ICU, if you are actively dying, you look terrible.  In most cases, people dying in the ICU [...]]]></description>
