Hi, I'm in my second year of the RN program in Ontario, and recently I found out that a patient I had died. The patient did not die while I was at the clinical placement, however I was still very sad when I heard the news. All of my school friends and clinical instructor kind of brushed me off when I told them, but I was devastated when I found out. Is this a normal thing? I was really hurt by it, but I'm thinking that I shouldn't be that hurt because the patient didn't die while I was assigned to her. Any thoughts? How did you guys deal with patient death as a student? Thank you!
