Abstract
This hermeneutic study explored the lived experience of novice RNs who care for dying patients in acute care settings to understand to meaning of their experience. Fourteen novice RNs participated in individual telephone semi-structured interviews. Transcripts were analyzed using Colaizzi's method. Results obtained were based on the hermeneutic circle. The findings identified 3 major themes: (a) obstacles in end-of-life care; (b) personal response; and (c) coping strategies and 12 subthemes. Despite the obstacles in care, compassionate care was provided that resulted in professional growth.
