Every Hospice Nurse Has a Journey

Maybe this is the work you’ve always felt drawn to. But now that you’re here, the questions start flooding in:

-Can I really do this?

-Will I know what to say?

-How do I handle the emotional part of this work?

Fortunately, I’ve been right where you are — and so have many others.

If you’re looking for steady encouragement and practical guidance as you begin your hospice journey, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

Everything you’ll find here— from my book to my blog and free resources— was created with one purpose: to help you feel more confident and less alone.

Thinking About Becoming a Hospice Nurse?

You already know how to be a nurse.

You've spent years working in a hospital, long-term care facility, or another nursing specialty. You've developed valuable clinical skills and gained experience caring for patients and families.

But now, you may be wondering whether hospice nursing might be your next chapter.

What is hospice nursing really like?

What makes it different from other nursing specialties?

And how can you prepare for the challenges and rewards of end-of-life care?

Sunset Angels: A Companion Guide for New Hospice Nurses was written with you in mind.

Drawing from over a decade of my experience in hospice, Sunset Angels offers a welcoming introduction to this unique specialty. Through practical insights, personal experiences, and encouragement, I hope to help you better understand what lies ahead.

Discover what it's like to work as a hospice RN case manager, understand the unique needs of patients and families, and explore ways to care for yourself while caring for others.

Like I mentioned before, you already know how to be a nurse. Let Sunset Angels help you learn how to be a hospice nurse.

Hi, I’m Ellen,

a hospice nurse and health writer who believes in the quiet power of presence. After many years of patient care, I now support new hospice nurses through gentle words, honest reflections, and meaningful resources — created to help you navigate both the beauty and the weight of this work.

Because hospice nursing isn’t just clinical.

It’s emotional.

It’s sacred.

And at times, it can feel incredibly heavy.

Here, you’ll find encouragement for the days that stay with you, space to breathe and reflect, and reminders to care for yourself as deeply as you care for others.

Whether I’m writing a blog, an affirmation, or an article, my goal is the same: to offer clarity, comfort, and a steady sense of companionship in your journey.
