This article in the journal BMC Nursing looks at the dying person and the experience of the hospice nurse. Many nurses feel unprepared to accompany people through the process of dying and feel they don't have the skills in psychosocial and spiritual care. This can cause high levels of moral distress, grief and burnout.
