In-Service Ideas / Hospice liaisons
For hospice liaisons and community educators: end-of-life topics facility staff find useful, each paired with an accredited CE course.
The default hospice in-service is eligibility 101, and facility staff have sat through it many times. It's also the one most easily read as a sales pitch. The in-services that get you invited back teach something staff struggle with: the family meeting that goes sideways, the resident with dementia who is declining slowly, the nurse who has to deliver bad news on night shift.
Those topics build trust and raise end-of-life care naturally. Pair each with an accredited course, and the nurses, social workers, and case managers in the room get contact hours from an independent accredited provider — not from your brochure.
Clarifies palliative vs. hospice care for staff fielding family questions.
The conversation every SNF and hospital team has to start.
Most nurses were never taught how — and they do it constantly.
Gives staff language for the hardest family meetings.
A perfect fit for memory care and long-term care audiences.
For pediatric hospital and specialty audiences.
Works for staff and as a family-night companion session.
Strong for social workers and interdisciplinary teams.
If staff want eligibility criteria, leave a one-page handout and offer to answer questions afterward. The in-service should stand on its own as education — that's what gets you invited back, and it keeps the session clearly educational.
Your licensed staff can take these accredited courses free through Pulse — local healthcare sponsors cover the cost. Create a free account to browse the catalog and request the topics your team needs.
Get free CE for your team →Advance care planning and end-of-life conversations consistently land, because SNF staff handle them constantly with little training. Dementia at end of life is a close second in memory care settings.
Keep it separate from the accredited course. The CE course stands on its own from an independent accredited provider; your eligibility material is yours. Check your organization's compliance guidance on what to include in facility presentations.
No. The presentation is yours, and it stays educational. The CE credit comes from the accredited online course paired with it — provided by H.I.S. Cornerstone Continuing Education — which each professional completes on their own time and gets a certificate for. That keeps the education independent and the accreditation clean.
The presenter sponsors it through Pulse. Print the course QR flyer and put it on the table — each attendee who scans gets the course by email. Or collect a sign-in sheet and bulk-send the course afterward. Professionals complete it online and receive a certificate as soon as they finish.
Nothing for the professional. The sponsoring rep pays $15 per credit hour, billed only when someone actually opens the course, and every rep's first opened course is free. There is no subscription and no credit card to sign up.
