I am an ER nurse, recently a co-worker (also a nurse) became suddenly very ill and after treating him in our facility, we transfered him to our main campus where he underwent emergency surgery. Things went from bad to worse and he died shortly after returning to the ICU. This is a huge loss to many of us who were close to him. He was young (30's) and has a family.
I would like to hear from anyone else that has a similar experience and would like to share some of the ways you and your co-workers dealt with the grief.
We were considering placing a notice of some sort in the entrance for our ER patients and visitors to be aware of our loss - has anyone ever done this? Could you suggest how to word such a notice?
