GNUR 313 End-of-Life Care and Palliation

Palliative care is the unique way caregivers think, respond, and act as they give skilled and compassionate care to a dying person and the support system of that person. This course seeks to help each nurse understand their own feelings about death and palliative care, and reflect on their experiences with palliative care. Each participant will gain specific knowledge about symptom assessment and management, and how to deal with palliative emergency situations. Particularly unique aspects of caring for the dying, ie. communication, grief and self-care, will be explored.
