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

30 hours in the hospital is rather short... 2 hours/wk for 15 weeks? At that rate, you should keep at it until you've done at least 45 weeks unless there just isn't anything for you to do or you have no new exposures or experiences. Give it time, you won't get more responsibility and new experiences until you've been there awhile and gained the trust of the staff.

If you have the time to take on additional volunteer service and hospice appeals to you, then go for it.
