hospice nurse
End-of-life attendant
A hospice nurse provides medical care and comfort to patients who are dying, typically those with terminal illnesses who have chosen to forgo curative treatment.
The focus shifts from healing to managing pain, easing symptoms, and supporting both patient and family through the final stages of life.
The hospice nurse adjusted his morphine and held his wife's hand.
