"Hospice nursing is the pure essence of why I became a nurse many years ago. At Hospice of the Piedmont, I work in a collegial atmosphere with a team of skilled professionals, working toward a common goal of bringing comfort and peace to a dying patient and their family. I am able to work one on one with my patients and am actually able to hold their hand, laugh with them and provide comfort and support for their family members on a daily basis. Seeing a patient with pain and anguish become comfortable and content is the greatest achievement any nurse can have. This is what I was meant to do."

"What is unique about being a hospice nurse is the opportunity to walk with someone through the last journey of their life, to listen to their stories, and to help them identify what is most important to them and their families. Many people ask if this is not a terribly sad and difficult job. I find it an amazing privilege."

"Hospice of the Piedmont has given me the opportunity to fully utilize my skills in pharmacology to suggest options for not only controlling symptoms involved in end of life care, but to develop the drug delivery methods and regimens best suited to each patient's needs and desires. Hospice care is a team endeavor and I feel very fortunate to be a part of this progressive team of professionals."

"Working with those who have lost a loved one is an absolute privilege. It is like being invited into a very private and sacred place. Hopefully, little by little as grief and memories are shared, the sacred place becomes lighter and brighter with new hopes and dreams. One of the unexpected gifts of this journey through grief is the undeniable realization of how very precious every day of life is and every moment spent with those we love. I feel that I have been led to this work and have been preparing for it my entire life."
