In May 2020, Derek J. Flores, RN CHPN, Best Selling Author, was a featured guest on the internationally broadcast TV Show, 'The Doctors', where he gave expert advice on hospice care. Tragedy and determination brought Derek to write his first book, 'Seven Keys to a Peaceful Passing: A Hospice Nurse's Step-by-Step Guide to Hospice'. It is designed to help both patients and their families navigate the many important decisions everyone needs to make in hospice care.

Nurse Derek's latest publication is 'Letters to a Hospice Nurse', a collection of stories written by family members of people who were in hospice care. The soft cover is designed to help the reader process the loss of a loved one.

'Letters to a Hospice Nurse' also has a companion journal, titled 'My Letter' that offers the user a beautiful space to write down their own thoughts and feelings about the life and loss of their loved one. 'My Letter' is a wonderful resource for hospice patients, caregivers, and family members to use as a bereavement aid.

In addition to books, Nurse Derek publishes notebooks and journals to aid nurses, patients, and their families. You can find them listed with his other publications on his Amazon Author's Page.

Derek Flores is a Pueblo, Colorado Native now living in Northern Colorado. Nursing is a second career for Derek. After graduating from Colorado State University with a bachelor's in Business Administration in 1991, he later attended LCCC in Cheyenne, Wyoming where he earned his nursing degree. Derek lives near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains - where he mountain bike's/runs in the summer and snowboards at his favorite locations in the winter. He is a married to Kirsten and is the parent of three amazing adult daughters, two son-in-laws and one beautiful grand-daughter.

Such a gentle explaination to some tough and confusing questions one might face when deciding what is best for aging loved ones. Derek accurately identifies and provides clarification of the hospice care options available. His knowledge and compassion walk you through what to expect with tender anecdotes and dignity.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unhelpful
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2022
Verified Purchase
The author provides “key” words to use to force Hospice providers to levels of unnecessary and unhelpful interventions. The author then cautions several times to only use these tactics when absolutely needed. How, pray tell, does a caregiver, inexperienced in the process of death and dying make this determination? The author asserts that most hospices are competing for business. That’s an overstatement to say the least. Not every hospice is “hungry for business”. Many will tell overly demanding families to please take your business elsewhere. This is often a horrible choice for the patient.

Irresponsible advice at a minimum. This book has the potential to cause more trouble for caregivers than facilitating excellent care. Poor quality guidance.
