title: Older nurses embrace hospice & home care.
abstract: Older nurses who have "done their time" in hospital wards sometimes find home health or hospice nursing a welcome and rewarding change of pace. While their maturity often gives them the empathy and compassion that can bring comfort to their patients, their extensive experience supplies them with the knowledge they need to work confidently in an independent setting.
