INTRODUCTION:
Delivering bad news to a patient, family member, or loved one can be one of the most difficult and uncomfortable situations a provider encounters.

Literature supports that healthcare students feel uncomfortable and unprepared to deliver bad news. PURPOSETo enhance acute care nurse practitioner students comfort in delivering difficult news to patients and their families.
