Hello all- I was trying to find some relevant and informative videos for you which may help you understand more about end of life care. In looking, I found a YouTube video featuring a pediatric hospice RN, Beth Josolowitz. Her words about the intimacy of caring for a dying patient can also be applied when the death occurs in the acute care setting. I like how she describes caring for the patient and family. See what you think.

I also searched for some words of wisdom from Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, considered to be an expert on death and dying due to her years of work with dying patients. I found a short video from 1983 which starts out with her narration of her work, then transitions into her speaking with a dying patient in the patient's home. Again, I want you to keep in mind that these types of authentic interactions can occur in any setting, whether or not it is the patient's home or an acute care facility.
