Dear
Colleague,
My
family and I have had several discussions about organ donation.
Is this typical? I don’t think so. Our conversations
have probably stemmed from the fact that my husband and I
have both worked with organ donors (in the critical care units)
and organ recipients (caring for lung transplant patients
both immediately post-transplant and during pulmonary rehabilitation).
When do “laypeople” usually have these conversations?
My guess is at the Department of Motor Vehicles during license
renewals and in emergency departments and critical care units
when stress and the need for decision-making are beyond overwhelming.
April is National
Donate Life Month. Explore the articles in More Resources
to brush up on organ donation and your role as a nurse. Also,
is it time for you to discuss your intentions with your own
family? Now is the time to do it!
Don't miss our next issue
about I.V. therapy, plus new articles and
CEs.
