Hello everyone, here is a little more information about me: I have been employed as an ICU and/or ER RN for my entire nursing career. In that time, I have encountered many end of life situations...which means I have acquired real life experience with this topic. However; that does not mean that I consider myself an expert by any means because each situation is unique to itself, as is each patient and each family that we encounter as RNs.
I have created this blog in order for us to share our thoughts, experiences, concerns, questions, insights, etc, regarding the provision of end of life care in the hospital setting. I will be posting here throughout the course so please check back at least weekly for additional information. I also expect that you will respond at least twice during the course to information presented here. I want this to be a shared space where we can all benefit from each other's knowledge and experiences, and perhaps gain some valuable insight or suggestions on how we can better handle this unique and very important aspect of providing nursing care. Please feel free to include any websites or pages you believe may be relevant and helpful for everyone to view.
As always, your suggestions and comments are welcome.
Good topic. Make sure you post consistently, read the rubric and be creative in the use of instructional technologies. Look at the document I posted in Doc Sharing for ideas. MAT
ReplyDeleteGreat topic! I have had lots of experience with end of life care when working in home health and hospice. The videos are a nice addition to your blog.
