CACCN supports the process of organ donation. Nurses working in critical care are in a privileged position to positively influence organ donation success; however, the process can be emotionally very difficult. Facility commitment, agency culture and medical practice are also crucial to the process of organ donation. Despite our commitment to support organ donation as an option, the critical care nurse's primary responsibility is to the potential donor and their family. Throughout the process, the critical care nurse must remain non-judgmental and supportive of the family, regardless of their decision. Ultimately, the nurse must balance organ donation with the needs of the family who is experiencing the tragic and untimely loss of a loved one. Finding this balance is never an easy task.
加拿大重症护理护士协会支持器官捐赠过程。从事重症护理工作的护士处于有利位置，能够对器官捐赠的成功产生积极影响；然而，这个过程在情感上可能非常困难。机构的支持、机构文化和医疗实践对器官捐赠过程也至关重要。尽管我们致力于支持将器官捐赠作为一种选择，但重症护理护士的首要责任是照顾潜在捐赠者及其家人。在整个过程中，重症护理护士必须保持不评判的态度并支持家属，无论他们做出何种决定。最终，护士必须在器官捐赠与经历亲人悲惨且过早离世的家庭的需求之间取得平衡。找到这种平衡绝非易事。
