Throughout my career as a CNA, I have found that many RNs are very uncomfortable caring for the dying patient. My philosophy on caring for the dying is let them have what they want to make them comfortable and happy before death. What are some ways I can help a RN become more comfortable with this situation? What are your thoughts on caring for peole that are dying? |

i pretty much give them whatever they want. dont nitpick if the morphine isnt due for another 20 minutes etc just give it to them is my attitude. i am sure one day it will bite me in the ass but oh well. i also try to treat the family alot better then i do the rest. |

i completely agree... it's not like we're doing anything to save their life. I know i want to die comfortably and the way I want! |
