Jefferson County "Gets" Hospice!
A study undertaken by the Center of Community Studies at
Jefferson Community College revealed that the residents of the North Country
have a clear understanding of what hospice care is all about. Our friends and neighbors know that hospice is not just for a particular age group; not just for victims of cancer; not just meant for the last few days of life.
This knowledge is reflected in the number of patients that are taking advantage of their entitlement to hospice care. Hospice of Jefferson County is serving more patients and their families than at any time in the agency's history.
The foundation of hospice care is the skill and compassion of the intererdisciplinary team of nurses, social workers, and counselors. Because of our increased census, Hospice of Jefferson County has openings for full-time, part-time and per diem Registered Nurses. At Hospice, our patients and their families come first; we think it's a good place to work for nurses who believe that too. If you are an RN with experience, maybe even retired or getting ready to, consider sharing your knowledge and understanding with patients who will be enormously appreciative of your gifts.
