November is Hospice Nurse Appreciation Month, and we want to recognize the compassionate, patient, and incredibly strong nurses who provide comfort, dignity, and peace during life’s most vulnerable moments. Hospice nurses care not only for patients but for entire families. They explain hard things gently, offer calm in uncertain times, and bring kindness and dignity to every visit.

To every hospice nurse, thank you for your empathy, your strength, and the emotional weight you carry each day. Your work changes lives and hearts forever.

If a hospice nurse has cared for your family, we invite you to comment and share your experience. Your stories help honor the people who make such a meaningful difference. 💛
