Division Director's Welcome

As a former GIM fellow who trained in this division, I am honored to lead our group – building upon our traditional strengths and growing in exciting directions. Our faculty are respected and recognized widely for accomplishments in many areas, we are generalists after all, and we are fully engaged in the tripartite academic missions at Hopkins – patient care, education, and research. In all that we do, we adhere to the values expressed in our core divisional principles (please click on the 'About' tab above to see them). This clarity about who we are and what we hope to achieve allows us to move forward with intentional purpose. Thank you for visiting this online representation of our dynamic Division. If you’re interested in learning more details about any of our programs, please reach out (swright@jhmi.edu).

Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Leadership in Compassionate Extubation: A Novel Evidence-Based Framework

Written By Benjamin Roberts, Constance Dahlin

High-quality care at the end of life is a cornerstone of nursing practice, yet the specific role of the advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) in facilitating compassionate extubation is poorly defined. Evidence-based process guidance for APRN-led compassionate extubation is needed to ground nursing curricula and buoy the APRN’s confidence in taking on a leadership role during this significant patient-centered procedure. In this clinical feature, one patient’s narrative is interwoven with a review of current evidence regarding best practices for before, during, and after compassionate extubation. A novel framework is then built upon the Standards of Practice and Professional Performance for Palliative Nursing.
