Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) is a difficult decision for doctors to make. In making the decision, the doctors need to consider nurses recommendation. Due to limited knowledge, experiences, and information of DNR, plus the criteria of emergency department which are only focused on emergency treatments, the nurses cannot maximize their roles in the end of life care. This study, thus, aimed to explore the nurses experiences in the emergency rooms especially in taking care of DNR patients. This research employed a qualitative method that was interpretive phenomenology approach involving four nurses who were working in the emergency department. Data was collected through in depth interview, using thematic analysis suggested by Braun & Clark. The results of the study cover four themes; they are to 1. Understand the failure of resuscitation during the treatment, 2. Perform resuscitation as an early standard operating procedure to treat patients 3. Collaborate in making decision on DNR, 4. Prepare patients for a good death. The conclusion is before deciding to perform DNR (Do Not Resuscitate), doctors need to understand the criteria of DNR and get nurses involved in it. DNR treatment in the emergency rooms is an early standard operating procedure to treat patients at the end of life phase and to prepare them for a good death by also engaging their family members.
