Can you truly prepare for your first patient dying? Today’s guest says no.
Death & dying is absolutely a part of OncoPT, but it doesn’t get talked about nearly enough.
We may have a natural tendency to avoid these topics, but this actually hurts our patients. So how do we start talking about death & dying?
By having these conversations ourselves.
When we talk about death & dying, we can open the door for our patients to have these conversations. Today I’m talking about death & dying with the person I literally go to when I need to have these conversations: my sister.
Back by popular demand, Corissa Decker, RN, BSN is an oncology nurse, BMT extraordinaire, & advocate for having the hard conversations to truly improve patient care. We talked about our first patient deaths, the injustice of not talking about death & dying, & how to start making a change in our practices.
