    00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:02.450
>> My name is Mark Daniel Harrison.

    00:00:02.450 --> 00:00:03.220
When I do for a living?

    00:00:03.220 --> 00:00:07.170
I'm an admissions nurse for the
Hospice of Central Pennsylvania.

    00:00:07.170 --> 00:00:07.890
You come in.

    00:00:07.890 --> 00:00:12.970
You get a list of individuals
that you try and make, I guess,

    00:00:12.970 --> 00:00:16.790
a plan of how you want to
attack the day kind of thing.

    00:00:16.790 --> 00:00:22.370
Where you want to go and go from there.

    00:00:22.370 --> 00:00:24.780
Talk to family members.

    00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:28.130
See if they are available for those times.

    00:00:28.130 --> 00:00:33.790
Talk to social workers or
case managers at hospitals.

    00:00:33.790 --> 00:00:39.530
So it's talking to families and staff
at hospitals as far as following

    00:00:39.530 --> 00:00:46.770
up on patients' information and making sure,
you know, everybody can meet at the right time.

    00:00:46.770 --> 00:00:49.110
So it's all about a coordination of schedules.

    00:00:49.110 --> 00:00:59.440
And then from there, you go and visit people
and trying communicate what, you know,

    00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:02.730
hospice does as far as taking
care of the family.

    00:01:02.730 --> 00:01:11.190
Doing what's necessary for these people at
whatever stage they're at at this point in time.

    00:01:11.190 --> 00:01:16.060
Whether it's an end-stage kind
of situation or it's, you know,

    00:01:16.060 --> 00:01:18.050
the beginning of that kind of thing.

    00:01:18.050 --> 00:01:24.040
Trying to see how it best fits, whether
they need to stay in the hospital, go home,

    00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:26.880
or staying at home, how to care for them.

    00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:31.900
You know, trying to get a whole idea
of their history, of their picture,

    00:01:31.900 --> 00:01:37.380
so that basically you know what's going
on so that you can tell somebody else,

    00:01:37.380 --> 00:01:42.450
so that you can assess where they're
at, so that you can recommend what needs

    00:01:42.450 --> 00:01:44.400
to be done kind of next kind of thing.
