- Years of Experience: 15
As a nurse, I have been a patient advocate since I began practicing as a nurse. Often, I would see patients and doctors interact and the doctor would walk out the door and the patient would say “what did she mean.” As a result, I would have to explain what was said. Personally, many family members and friends have asked me to act as a patient advocate on their behalf to help them through difficult and sometimes life and death situations. Many times I have been with friends, family members, and patients at the end of life and having a knowledgeable support person was so beneficial that to this day they often thank me for supporting them through those difficult times.
