    Is one year of hospice enough?

    Ive been volunteering for hospice for about a total of 6 months and have had 4 patients in total.

    Switching from hospital volunteering to hospice care?

    Currently have done 30 hrs in hospital volunteering since last year. I've been looking more into hospice, and don't know if I should switch to it or keep both? Applying next cycle (2016-2017) Thanks
