In Nashville, Julie also participated with other Hospice Professionals in a Simulation Lab, where they instructed Physicians, Professors, Social Workers, Chaplains and many more disciplines on how to communicate with their patients/clients that they were dying. And instruction on how to refer them to End of Life Care. While dealing with the different emotions that surfaced.
Julie also wrote and published a teaching manual that is used nationwide about how to use a "Comfort Kit".

- Debbie Lynn, Hospice LPN, Florida
People ask, "How can you do Hospice?" It is very hard and sad because we are there for the worst day of someone's life. I can do Hospice because I know we are able to make that worst day a little bearable by helping patients and families be as comfortable as possible.
