Are your students meeting the AACN CARES palliative care competencies for all undergraduate nursing students? These competencies prepare students to provide primary palliative care, which all patients with serious illness and their families need and employers are demanding. The interactive, online 6 one-hour modules that comprise the ELNEC- Undergraduate Curriculum prepare all students to meet these competencies. Today, there are over 9,000 students, representing more than 200 schools of nursing across the nation, who have completed or are completing the curriculum since the launch of the curriculum in January 2017. See the ELNEC-Undergraduate Champions List for BSN and pre-licensure programs that are leading the way!
