I love this and think it should actually be a part of CPR training. It gives everyone a moment to decompress and also honors "the body" that you were trying to save as a human that deserves respect. I love it.
This is such a touching story. While I am sad that you went through this, it is refreshing to hear someone tell such a story from "the other side". Best wishes on continued health.
I work at a large magnet hospital in Milwaukee Wisconsin on an Oncology/Hematology unit. We are staffed 1 Rn to 3 patients, occasionally 4. Our PCAs take 10 patients.
