 Hi guys, so today I wanted to do a video on a topic. That's kind of sad. It's not necessarily a Positive happy topic, but it's definitely an important one and I want to talk about a little about my experience and Yeah, so I had my first patient pass away on My shift so what I mean by this is I have taken care of a lot of patients and you know maybe the next day they had passed away or after my shift they did or maybe I have Another one of the nurses patients passed away, and I helped with postmortem care and things like that But I've never had a patient actually passed away on my ship So I've never had to deal with the family members deals a bad word I don't mean it in a negative way, but I've never had to Interact with the family members when the patient actually is like so close to passing and past So I can't give away a lot of details all I'll say is this passing was very Peaceful and the patient was switched over to comfort care. So it was an expected death. It was not Unexpected it wasn't traumatic. It was a very Peaceful death of course very sad for the family, but it was very peaceful and positive So it was my first time as a nurse dealing with the emotions that come along with a dying patient a patient who has passed away and I will say I I'm thankful that this was my first death experience and it was a positive experience the family left after the patient had passed away And they said they're good-byes and all that and was super super thankful they gave us hugs and you know they are crying and just like saying how thankful they were for me and my preceptor who was with me For the experience that was created in such a sad but now peaceful positive situation So it went well, and I'm glad I got that one Under the rug, you know what I mean like just like I'm glad I got that experience And so now I know how to approach it better and for future experiences and I can look back on that So patients dying is most likely something you are going to encounter as a nurse and You know it can be a positive thing or it can be a super traumatic difficult thing It really really depends on the situation and so It's one of those things that it's really hard to know what to say and how to say it until you've kind of done it and Interacted and you know definitely rely on your fellow nurses and co-workers to ask them like how would you have said this in this situation? How would you have handled in this situation? I have many times as a nurse I have been encountered with a situation and I would go ask my nurse like or another nurse saying like hey You know this is the situation. How would you have handled it? What would you have said and so it's it's hard deaths are hard and you know They take a toll on you as nurses even though we see it more often it is very sad and But it's such I feel so honored and like blessed to be a part of that passing experience for This patient and my future patients I feel like as nurses we can play such a huge role in making death a I Don't want to say a positive experience But making the whole situation a little bit better for the family and the patient and whatnot So thank you guys for watching this video if you have any death experiences That's not really bad And you have any experience of patients passing away or concerns or questions I'll leave those in the comments below and I will answer them for you Make sure you give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel and I'll see you guys next time
