Hospice nurses lack sufficient training and education on difficult conversations, recognizing decline, symptom management, and preparing families for end-of-life transitions.

Existing hospice training programs do not adequately cover practical skills like having hard conversations, recognizing decline, deprescribing, or preparing families for what to expect, leaving nurses to learn on the job.
