My name is April Stringer. I am a nursing student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and I am participating in the honors program. As part of the honors program, I have done some research and will participate in a service learning project in my community based upon that research. I also have to create and maintain a blog with weekly updates. I hope that you will follow me and feel free to interject your opinions, comments or ideas.

Exciting News.. Upcoming Veteran Visits!!



This week was a rather slow week as far as my project goes because I have a ton of school activities that require more of my time and attention.  Don't be disappointed though because I did get to go out and work on some things at Comfort Care Hospice this week.  We are still completing preparation for our participation in the 2012 Veterans Day Parade.  I have also planned visits with two different patients this upcoming week.  One is with a U.S. Navy Veteran that is receiving hospice care.  I think my interest in meeting him mainly stems from my Navy background.  The other is with a couple. They are both U.S. Army Veterans, one of which is receiving hospice care.  They met during WWII when she was an Army nurse and he was a fighter pilot receiving care.  I am so excited to see what this week has in store for me as I continue to learn about the impact of hospice on our Veteran population!  I hope you will visit again after next week to see what my experiences entail.
