3. Palliative care for spiritual distress along the diasease trajectory

   nurseshanti replied to nurseshanti's topic in Hospice, Palliative

   I am aware of the option of seeing a chaplain or her pastor. I am hoping though that there is something that I myself can do to help support her through this. It's hard being far away. Plus, her very...

4. Palliative care for spiritual distress along the diasease trajectory

   nurseshanti posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

5. Planned Parenthood and nursing

   nurseshanti replied to rhiannonwolf's topic in General Nursing

8. They pushed the wrong button today.

   nurseshanti replied to WyomingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

9. What does your post name reflect about you?

   nurseshanti replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing
