Why rely on a bunch of strangers from all over the planet for this information? Why don't you open Google and search for this information at your Arkansas Board of Nursing website? I suspect the...
Coping with the death of a patient is part of the process of growing as a nurse. There is no way to get prepared for it ahead of time. The fact that you care deeply is going to help you sort this out...
