New Grad Case Manager Nurse: Am I killing my patient? Struggling with death

- Hey guys! Another week, another let's chat video! In this week's video I talk about my transition on taking the role of a case manager nurse as a new grad rn. I talk about what it's like being a case manager nurse and new grad struggles I've been facing. Starting to do things on your own is definitely stressful! I haven't felt this stressed at my new job until now. There is still so much for me to learn. I also talk about what I've realized hospice is and dealing with death and learning how to cope with death. I am also learning the experience of telling families that their loved ones are about to go. I feel as if everything I've experienced in nursing school is the complete opposite of what I'm experiencing in hospice. I'm in a role where I help patients pass peacefully versus in the hospital I was used to the role of helping patients improve and get better. Being in hospice has made me think about my role as a nurse as well as my beliefs. Hospice takes on such a diverse range of patients. Some who are religious while others are atheists. It has taught me to be culturally competent and made me realize that I need to be what the patient and family needs me to be.

Hey girl, I have an opportunity to be a case manager for hospice patients but I am terrified i will not be able to control my emotional . How do you deal with the death of your patients?
@@KhidrAlexandria Hey! Congratulations! In hospice, you definitely need to have tough skin. I have had personal experience with family death and hospice. I’ve learned to deal with death because I came to understand that dying is part of life. After having multiple patients pass, I gain a sense of fulfillment knowing I was able to provide care to my patient and family at such an important transition in life.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I am a recent new grad and considering a hospice RN case manager position, which is a role my nursing school does not cover and prepare students for. I appreciate how honest, thorough, and caring you are speaking about hospice! Your video gave me helpful insight and slowly preparing myself, if I take on the role ☺️
Nursing is “fake it until you make it”. Especially if you choose to be always learning & trying new specialties. I applaud you being young & being an RN. It’s a job I couldn’t have done in my 20s. (I became an RN at 39)
I'm so glad to have across your channel. I am a new grad and will be going in to Hospice nursing.
I love you SO much. You have no idea how big of a help you are. Bless your heart sis💓
So happy and proud of you!! I’ve been following you for a while and am so excited for you dude!! Woo woo 🙌🏼 I’m in my first term of Nursing Core at WCU and love it!!
Omggg thank you!! Yay! So happy you’re enjoying it. It’ll go by so fast!
Your transparency 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My last nursing role was RNCM - Hospice ❤️ You go!, Girl!
During my first month in the ICU we managed 2 withdrawals of care. It was life changing for me. I can see it's had a profound impact on you as well. Nursing is an amazing career field. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
Definitely life changing when facing it first hand for the first time.
Did you get certified? How did you find a case manager job without a lot of experience? Thanks
I currently work in the icu and i took an interest in hospice after seeing a lot of dnr patients and all the withdrawals we need to do! I applied for a hospice position inpatient and I wasn’t sure if that was also “similar” to case management? My end goal is to work as a case manager! Thank you for your video
Thank you so much with the morphine explanation and what Is happening on a patho level in end of life stages.
I was a case management/admissions nurse when I was an LPN…I didn’t like it …. especially as a salaried position, I was expected to be there for hours after my shift was supposed to end. Let’s keep it real… the morphine isn’t really making them comfortable.
Do you ever take your shoes off as a case manager?When going to peoples homes
Wow, thank you for sharing your experience as a case manager, definitely an important role ! I feel hospice is a comfortable way of explaining and treatment process for patients & family who are passing. In reality, many don’t know the actual focus hospice can bring to those who are close to dying.
Question.. how did you learn the medical terminology 🥲🥲🥲. I am struggling doing this online class
You got this!
thank you!
Hey I graduate in May with my ADN and really want to get into hospice work. I am planning to start med surg to get experience. Or should it be ok just to start directly in hospice?
Hey! It depends on what you prefer! Hospice is a speciality and everything you do in hospice is the opposite of med surg. Hospice focuses on the decline on patient versus med surg focuses on the improvement of your patient. If you reallly want to do hospice, I’d say go straight for hospice! If you’re unsure, try med surg first and maybe do per diem for hospice
Can you please share how you do your assessment?
😔
anyone who says hospice is killing the patient, i just wanna talk
