 So palliative care in its simplest terms means to palliate or help somebody feel better symptomatically. I think as providers we focus a lot on treating people and curing them and maybe not so much as looking at the big picture that not everybody is going to be treated and cured of their illness. I think what's missing that we bring in when we add palliative care to the curriculum is a honesty with our patients and being able to be humble and listen to our patients. Being able to educate families and the patients themselves on the process I think is also integral as a palliative care nurse practitioner. What my goal is as a practitioner to be able to make it so that their illness is not the focus of their day-to-day life. We should be having conversations with our patients about their wishes and what they would want out of their life and what quality of life means to them. That to me speaks a lot to the Jesuit philosophy and being able to be there for my patient.
