Hospice and Nursing Homes Blog: Hospice Volunteer Training Ethical Issues
The ethical situations confronting the newly trained volunteer must usually be addressed as they occur. One of the reasons I developed the online training course was to get the educational core presented quickly so that the volunteer could immediately begin acquiring the skills to cope with ethical situations. The following article explains the importance of face to face training as well as continuing education and support: Hospice and Nursing Homes Blog: Hospice Volunteer Training Ethical Issues

Hospice Volunteer Training Online
After an extensive search of online training programs for hospice volunteers, I finally found one - mine.
I found a few programs that were excellent in content but the training would still have to completely be done in a face to face setting.
Much of the initial work of hospice volunteer training consists of the core concepts. Volunteer coordinators spend countless hours preparing for training sessions and by the time a facility is acquired, mailings and calls are made, and staff lined up to assist in the training, some of the prospective volunteers have already lost interest or are obligated elsewhere.
I thought it would be a great idea to cover the core courses with online training that would allow prospective volunteers the opportunity to begin training on their own from their computer....
Thus the birth of Hospice Volunteer Training Online.
I hope volunteer coordinators from around the country can benefit from offering an immediate solution to training needs. The release of this program will be March 1st, 2009.
Between now and March 1st, I will be posting the status of the online course and accepting inquiries at hospicevolunteertraining@gmail.com
The excitement of the potential of this program has made it easy to complete the course curriculum. Unless someone can point to another program like this, I am assuming this will be the very first online training for hospice volunteers.
How exciting is that?
