Many nurses entered the profession to help and provide for the sick on their healing journey. Inevitably, that includes providing care for the dying. Nurses see countless patients through horrendous injuries and severe illnesses that could easily take their lives. Unfortunately, dealing with death as a nurse may happen during any routine workday, and the impact can be extreme. Overcoming the loss of a patient is never easy. Continue reading for thoughtful guidance and practical resources to navigate these moments, including advice from several nurses with firsthand experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Odds of Dealing with Death as a Nurse<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The National Census for Health Statistics indicates that, statistically, there\u2019s one death every 10 seconds around the country. This statistic equates to six deaths every minute, 360 each hour and more than 8,500 daily. While some deaths in your nursing career may leave a deeper impact than others, losing a patient as a nurse always leaves a mark. Even when a passing is expected or seen as a release, it carries weight. Most nurses, at some point in their career, will care for a patient who doesn\u2019t make it and that experience, no matter how common, is never insignificant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nurses working in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivian.com\/nursing\/icu-nurse\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">critical care units<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivian.com\/nursing\/trauma-er-emergency-room\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">emergency departments<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, cardiology, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivian.com\/nursing\/palliative\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">palliative care <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or geriatrics may experience more deaths than peers in other fields. However, the diverse array of leading causes of death outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that nurses from any field could face losing a patient. The CDC listed the following as the leading causes of death in the U.S. in 2022:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heart Disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cancer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accidents<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">COVID-19<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stroke<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic Respiratory Disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alzheimer\u2019s Disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diabetes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kidney Conditions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic Liver Disease and Cirrhosis<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Per the CDC, in 2022, the infant mortality rate was 5.6 deaths per 1,000 births.

According to an article in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evidence-Based Nursing Journal<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, most nurses experience losing their first patient during, or even before, their first year of practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personally, I never imagined dealing with death as a nurse would be such an integral part of my nursing journey. I never anticipated creating moments of peace and holding space for patients to pass. Yet, over the years, I\u2019ve been faced with death often.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One story, in particular, stands out as a reminder of how being a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivian.com\/community\/travel-nursing\/travel-nursing-faq\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">travel nurse<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> allows you to think creatively while honoring policies and patient dignity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An elderly patient who had been deemed palliative for some time had reached a plateau in their condition and seemed to be holding on without significant changes. The first time I was this patient&#8217;s nurse, a family member told me the patient had always dreamed of passing outdoors. I noticed a private exit to the helipad at this small hospital and thought, \u201cWhy not?\u201d With my manager\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivian.com\/community\/career-resources\/how-to-handle-9-nursing-code-of-ethics-dilemmas\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cautious approval<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, I wheeled the patient outside in their bed. They spent their final moments in the fresh air, surrounded by their family. Shortly after I brought the patient inside, they passed peacefully.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The family was forever grateful for this experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This bittersweet moment embodies what it means to honor a patient\u2019s wishes, even in a clinical setting. It\u2019s one of the many ways nursing challenges us to push boundaries, think outside the box and create meaningful connections, especially at the end of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But not all deaths are like that. Some are gut-wrenching, unexpected and raw. Calling a family member to tell them their loved one has passed\u2014a mother\/father, grandmother\/father, daughter\/son\u2014is one of the hardest tasks I\u2019ve faced as a nurse. Sudden deaths rock everyone to their core and leave a mark on your soul.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet, even amidst the heartbreak, there\u2019s a profound beauty in being there for people during their final moments. By creating space for peace, honoring their humanity and holding their stories, you become a witness to the sacredness of life and death.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Nurses\u2019 Emotional Well-Being When Facing Death<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although it\u2019s an anticipated part of the profession, a patient\u2019s death often impacts your nursing career. Not dealing with your emotions may lead to compassion fatigue and an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivian.com\/community\/wellness\/from-empathy-to-exhaustion-the-hidden-toll-of-compassion-fatigue-and-burnout-in-nursing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increased risk of burnout<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A 2022 study published in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> examined nurses&#8217; attitudes toward patient death. The study found that dealing with death as a nurse varies significantly, shaped by personal backgrounds and individual <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivian.com\/community\/wellness\/4-ways-to-cope-with-compassion-fatigue-as-a-nurse\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">approaches to coping<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and perception.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The study found that even though nurses generally accept death as a natural part of life, many nurses exhibit a significant fear of death. I can attest to this. My fear of walking into a patient\u2019s room during hourly night rounds and finding them not breathing is palpable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Susan Gentile, an Adult Nurse Practitioner and primary care provider who administers urgent care at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.choicepointhealth.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ChoicePoint<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, said, \u201cI would be lying if I said that losing a patient or seeing them die in front of you ever gets better with time. It doesn\u2019t. And I think it\u2019s only natural to feel sad when someone you took care of, leaves you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Emotional and Personal Responses<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC9602489\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research highlights the emotional toll<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> nurses face after losing a patient.
