Indiana nurse helps colleagues deal with ethical issues raised by COVID-19

Nurses faced ethical issues every day before the pandemic, and the number of challenges has increased dramatically with COVID-19. Nurses are identified as the most trusted profession. In fact, we take care of people at their most vulnerable. During the peak of the pandemic, we were put in a position where we had to balance compassionate care with the underlying concern of not having enough resources. How do we do that when we must restrict access to family members? It was difficult to navigate when people were dying alone.
