I’m a hospice social worker and I love your content! It makes me want to start my own but I’m not even sure where to start. Thanks for all you do ❤️

AHHH I'm so happy you're making full length videos! I've watched all ur shorts and I was hoping youd do videos like this. I enjoy your personality and content sm!

I just love your channel. I have a friend in Knoxville who is a retired hospice nurse. I sent her a link to your channel because she was kind and compassionate like you are. I wanted her to know there’s still lots of you guys still in the field. I never realized the surge of energy was such a big thing. Those are my favorite of yours.

I love how you gave a pay breakdown, not many people are transparent with salaries. I have no intention of nursing but its still interesting to know :)

I hope you hear it a lot but thank you for what you do. It takes a mighty strong soul to be able to help others know what the outcome is. I wish you, your family and your patience. All the blessings you can handle.

Hi Nurse Hadley! Thank you so much for this video! Because of your channel I have been seriously considering becoming a nurse (potentially in hospice.) Your channel has helped me learn so much and I truly appreciate your channel. I can't wait to see more videos like this! ❤

Hiii Hadley! I’m a caregiver for my nana and I’ve been watching so much nursing / helping elderly content. I’m so happy I found your account! You have made me realize maybe I should look into hospice care (once I have the education) because as much as I’m scared of death, it’s comforting how many people you help, and others. Thank you for everything you do, truly.

Hi Hadley! I accidentally stumbled upon your videos and I'm hooked! I pray if I'm ever on hospice, I get a nurse who is caring and compassionate as you. My daughter is a nurse, but she works in vascular access. I'm also from Louisiana, and fun fact-my pawpaw's best friend was named Hadley and he was a semi-famous musician! I hadn't heard that name in a long time.

I love your content SO much! I was a covid med surg nurse throughout the pandemic, and that's actually where I started my nursing career since I graduated May 2020 and started working June 2020, however I became burnt out so quickly which was so discouraging because I lost the love of nursing I originally had and wanted it back so badly, I didn't want to give up. I decided between FNP school and leaving the bedside so I applied to school and my plan was I either get in and go to school or I do something else and I thought about home hospice care (I knew I would have been happy with either one). I ended up getting in to school and am currently studying for my MSN which I am enjoying to an extent, but part of me wishes I still did some home hospice nursing. So who knows, maybe I'll graduate and work as a hospice RN or NP. I love your videos so much and they drive me to keep hope and have kept me super interested in hospice nursing. I want to be an advocate for how great hospice care can be and I hope one day once I graduate that I can join you in this profession. Keep doing what you're doing as it inspires and educates so many people!

I think I'd love hospice nursing because it allows me to do home visits and be autonomous in my role.

You are a wonderful, beautiful person, Hadley. Thank you for that (you probably hear that often, but you should bc it's true!). I could never emotionally handle such a job. I cry just sitting here watching some of your shorts, so i know i would be too much of a mess to dive into these people's lives like you do. I'm happy you share though. I'm a new subscriber, but it's already given me a lot to think about. I hope to have a nurse like you one day 🤞🏼

What a blessing you must be to your patients, with all your knowledge and positive attitude. ❤

You & the hospice nurses I've had are simply AMAZING & BLESSINGS to our loved ones at end of life & also, the family & caregivers! GRATITUDE 4 your work & super grat for your Vids! You are helping so MANY !!!!! HUGSS!!!

Thank you! We need more hospice nurses!

Thank you to nurses like you that I was able to take care of my grandma at her own home. She had a nurse that was a very nice nurse who even visited her when she died. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. she was a kind person with a big heart. Thank you for all the hospice. If you didn't exist we wouldn't be to be there day today taken care of my grandma. She never loved going to hospitals. Because of the hospice care. They really made us have a memory that we will have with us for a very long long time. Even we can tell stories for the next generation to come. Thank you! 🎉❤

Hi Hadley, hope this will make you smile, but you've got a fan from the UK. Really enjoy your videos. Hope you will do more. So keep smiling 😊

What a wonderful human being.

Thank u for all of ur videos they help so many people so much! My best friends dad is about to go into hospice from cancer and my best friend does not know.

I just purchased your book and it was so good I finished the book in 1 day and I teared up SEVERAL times. You are truly an inspiration and thanks to you I think I have finally found my purpose.

Loving the hospice content. I work in hospice as an aide.

I love what you do here. Thank you.

This is really Interesting! You deserve so much for what you do ❤️❤️❤️

I want to go into hospice so badly after watching your videos. I love working with my inpatient hospice families and patients, and so many of my coworkers have encouraged me to pursue hospice. But I'm so hesitant to go because I want to work for a good company and I honestly don't know anyone else who works in hospice to ask how well the company treats them. Do you have any tips on how to tell which companies have red flags?

We are blessed with you! Thanks

You’re an absolute angel!

I just happened to come across your videos & it had a large impact on me. Whe. I was in my teens i wanted to be a nurse. The #1 thing that stopped me is the death of my patients. I'm someone who can be very emotional & worried that it would impact my life outside of work. Watching your videos is making me want to become a Hospice nurse... I am still not sure yet how I would handle the death of my patients & not let it negatively affect me too much outside of work. But I'm seriously considering it. You're an inspiration. If you have any tips on this I would greatly appreciate it. That is if you even see this lol. You're an amazing person!

Downloaded to help me remember the head to toe check ups for my dad ❤

Congrats on 100K! How exciting❤❤❤

Great job nurse Hadley ❤

I have a sneaking suspicion you're an angel in disguise. Can't really put a price on being cared for by an angel, now, can we?

I love your work and the think I will go to college to be a nurse then go to hospice training I also read your book you are a great writer I am subscribed to your channel

you may have helped me find my true calling… thank you ❤

Im a home health nurse and we refer to hospice quite frequently. Good to see what you guys do. I definitely feel the 5-6 patients and then getting behind throughout the day. Do you ever perfrom interventions for low vital signs? BP or HR lower than normal?

I love what you do!! ❤❤

Just came across you channel. Our 101 and 1/2 year old angel of a granny is passing now. We live in Nova Scotia and I was just finding out what the death process is. I am a believer

Love your videos! 🎉

New to your channel so far i love it ❤

That is such a good book!!!

i love ur vids they are so inspirering

Will you please make a video about families that don't help the primary caregiver with time or money. No one seems to care what this is doing to me.

Like full in depth patient stories

I am currently a home care provider. I am planning to start nursing school this summer. I love working with the elderly, and dying "does not bother me." I think I am a peaceful presence for the most part. (I never want to take personal drama into someone else's home, so I sometimes have to decompress in my car before I go in.)

Congratulations on making 100K!! Cannot wait for June 13th!! Also you. Are. Making BANK! 😊

I love your content! And your energy too! How long did you study for being a hospice nurse?

I wish your long form content was more popular!

Hi first of all I love watching your videos your amazing I'd love to have such an amazing nurse like you if I was really poorly your so kind thank you so much for everything you do for your very poorly patients it must take a toll on you eventually . Sorry to ask but you said you had a patient that was hallucinating please may I ask why that happens and at what stage of illness does that occur please and how to you treat this thanks ❤

Maybe you can give me some helpful advice.. I take care of my 96 years old neighbor, she really has no family. How do I convince her she needs a will. Or do I? Her dying wish is to die peacefully in her home and I am doing my best to make that happen. I'm just a disabled women with no experience, just a lot of love and patience. Thank you for any help

I'm currently an LPN at a nursing home and I've been really thinking about venturing into hospice nursing... but honestly my biggest hurdle is that I cry very easily when it comes to heartfelt things and when others cry... did you have this problem? Or how do you keep from tearing up when family cries etc? Or does it even matter? I wouldn't want to make the loved ones feel worse when they're already grieving cuz I can't control my tears 💔

Hi Hadley! I am an RN who last worked as an RN in the hospital back in 2018. I worked for one year. I am interested in going back into nursing as a Hospice Nurse. Do you have any advice about what I can do to prepare for an interview for hospice nursing or what I need to know going into the job for the first time (if I get it)? Thanks for your videos! I enjoy watching your content! You are a clear communicator!

God Bless you.

Soinds like you enjoy your job and get great pay for doing so .

How does it work with giving medication’s when the doctor isn’t there? Also, did you have to go into a specialty to be able to work in hospice?

I applied for a job in the CNA home care side of things today, and was wondering if you knew anything about the Companion side of things, below CNA.

Hi Hadley! In your book it says hospice hours are usually 8-5 (with some exceptions of course). I was just accepted into nursing school and want to be a hospice nurse, however, I do like the idea of 3 12’s so I can spend 4 days with my kiddo. Are there options for nurse hours for hospice?

Thank you so much for this. I am a RN and was wondering what further education or certification is available for hospice nursing? Any online suggestions?

Hadley, can you make a video about any patient that was estranged from adult children. I'd like to know if anything good or bad happened in the moments before death or days? A message to adult children who alienate their parents?

Hi! What's the name of your book and is it at Amazon?

Wow you are so inspiring! I am retired Army and looking for another career. Do you ever run across colleagues that are older/2nd career?

I would love to be able to do this but I feel like I couldn’t deal with the end, I feel like I would get to attached to them and couldn’t handle their passing

Please make more full videos

From watching your videos people have loved ones come get them within a few days of death, right? Do they ever hallucinate random things or is it consistently loved ones?

How often are hospice nurses on call?

I have a question. In our family we never had a death occur. And I feel so bad. Because my grandfather age 85. Never had no signs. Except he was sleeping alot and cold. A day before his death. He said he couldn't explain how he felt he only knew he wasn't feeling well. We got ahold of hospice. They came and asked him I'd he was in pain he told her yes. But when we asked him he would tell us no.She suggest him him a little morphine. As soon as we gave him that he went to sleep never woke up. Then the hospice nurse were there until he passed. I feel bad maybe he was having signs of him passing soon and I didn't call hospice before. 😢 feel guilty about it😢😢

can u plz tell me what education should i pursue to be a hospice nurse I live in san jose ca. Also is the exam extremely hard? and could you provide links, books anything to help me study. Also thank you thank you i watch yoou every single day!💜✨💜✨💜✨

When your on call, how many calls and or visits do you make in average?

That is what you make in 1 day 😱! Do y’all work 5 days a week or 🤷🏼‍♀️?

Question 🙋‍♀️: how much do you get payed and do they pay for your gas
