title: A day in the life.
abstract: As a reflective practitioner I write a journal, reflecting on significant experiences through the day. In this paper, I present a day in my life as a part-time nurse and complementary therapist at the hospice where I work. In particular, I focus my reflection on my ability and value of dwelling with patients as a clearing to enhance my therapeutic work.
