Diverse teaching and learning strategies are needed to develop emotionally intelligent new-graduate nurses who can empathetically care for dying patients. Reflective pedagogy, a teaching strategy that infuses reflection into education, is an effective strategy to enhance nursing student learning, educational enrichment, and emotional intelligence. This project aimed to explore nursing students' thoughts and feelings about end-of-life care through participation in the Grace in Grief intervention. This study examined the implementation of the student-centered intervention with mindful reflection and artistic expression to discuss emotions surrounding death and grief. The intervention was completed in a safe learning environment where course faculty facilitated the navigation of emotions, attitudes, and fears about death and how to care for dying patients and families through classroom discussion, artistic expression, and private reflection. After the intervention, students were asked to complete an online survey to reflect on the experience. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the students' responses to the survey. Four themes emerged from the qualitative analysis of open-ended responses. Summative themes indicated that educators could utilize reflection-based, student-centered learning activities to assist nursing students' development of emotional intelligence.

As a physician, the hardest days in medicine are when I endure great distance from the Lord in my bedside interactions with patients and families. They make me feel like driftwood without vocational direction. Given the enormity of what critically ill patients are experiencing, emotional detachment from Jesus and those I am serving creates swells of grief for me as a Catholic physician.

Background: Patients experiencing homelessness not only have higher rates of medical complexity, comorbidity, and mortality, but also face barriers to accessing palliative care services. In structurally vulnerable populations with palliative care needs, these barriers are compounded, creating significant challenges for both patients and providers that have important health equity implications.
Objective: The aim is to explore the experiences of palliative care providers working with patients experiencing homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic and understand the barriers they faced in providing care, as well as facilitators that aided in the success of their teams.

Objectives: To describe nonhospitalized adult rapid response events (adult RREs) in a freestanding children's hospital and examine the relationship between various demographic and clinical factors with the final patient disposition.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed records for nonhospitalized patients ≥18 years of age from events that occurred in a freestanding pediatric hospital between January 2011 through December 2020. We examined the relationship between adult RREs and patient demographic information, medical history, interventions, and patient disposition following an adult RRE.
