At Expert Hospice, we often hear the same phrase from the families we serve: “Your nurse was an angel.” It’s something we never take lightly. While our nurses will modestly tell you they’re just doing their jobs, those of us who witness their work daily know better. It takes a rare blend of skill, compassion, and emotional strength to serve families through one of life’s most sacred and vulnerable chapters.
Hospice nursing is not simply about administering medications or checking vitals. It’s about presence. It’s about showing up at 2 a.m. when a caregiver doesn’t know what to do. It’s about teaching a daughter how to safely lift her mother, or helping a husband understand what changes to expect in his wife’s final days. It’s about recognizing the silent cues—subtle shifts in breathing or mood—and stepping in with calm, reassurance, and love.
These moments are not always dramatic. Sometimes, they’re quiet. Like when a nurse sits beside a patient who can no longer speak but still deserves to be heard. Or when a nurse gently tells a caregiver, “You’re doing a good job,” just when they needed to hear it most. These acts may seem small, but to the families who receive them, they are life-changing.
In our latest episode of the Expert Hospice Podcast, Dr. Krishnan, a board-certified cardiologist and one of our medical directors, reflects on what makes hospice nurses so unique. Titled “Angels in Our Midst: Honoring Our Hospice Nurses”, this episode features moving examples of how our nurses go above and beyond—again and again.
