FREE WEBINAR

Early Career Challenge:

Ask any experienced RN about their first time caring for a dying patient and they will almost certainly remember the circumstances – and the challenges.  Caring for dying patients and their families – or dealing with the aftermath of a patient dying suddenly – can be one of the most difficult experiences during your early years as an RN.

Register now to receive a free gift, a special e-book, "Moral Distress and You."

A situation heavy with emotion as well as unique ethical and clinical practice requirements, caring for a dying patient can test even seasoned nurses.  This live, free, interactive 90-minute webinar will help all early career RNs be better prepared to care for dying patients, the patient's family and for themselves – regardless of work setting or specialty.

Topics to be covered include:

• The journey from cure to palliation to EOL (end-of-life) care
• When your patient is dying:  Physical and emotional changes that many dying patients exhibit and implications for nursing care
• Applying ethical principles when providing end of life care
• Caring for yourself and fellow health professionals
  • Effectively using team huddles to identify issues/stressors in real time
  • How to use your organization's ethics committee and peer resources
  • How to maintain resiliency in the face of caring for those who are dying
  • Using debriefing and other tools to effectively cope with caring for patients at EOL
• Key communication techniques and tools to more effectively care for your patient and their family 
• Common contextual issues at EOL and how they impact the care you provide
