At my hospital we have very active palliative cared department but mostly they are consulted when all hope is exhausted for the patient. I will become the patient advocate and try to educate my peers of the role palliative care for the patient earlier in their disease process.

I think one of the biggest barriers for nurses is that they still confuse palliative care as comfort care. I will continue to remind my colleagues that palliative care may
include interventions normally associated with end of life; thus, hospice and palliative care are not mutually exclusive.
