Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to learn more about the impact of a longitudinal encounter between critical care nurses and former intensive care unit patients. This study will enroll 10 patients that had been admitted in an ICU to meet with a former nurse that had taken care of them in the ICU. The study will enroll 20 nurses that had taken care of these patients in the ICU. The study will randomize 10 nurses to be in the encounter group and 10 nurses to be assigned to the control group. Only nurses assigned to the encounter group will meet with the patients at their post-ICU clinic.
