ELNEC Expands Resources for Faculty on Palliative and End-of-Life Care Education
|
An array of helpful updates has been added to the End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) project website for faculty and program directors looking to learn about teaching innovation and assessment in palliative care education. As schools become more familiar with The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education, faculty are eager for resources to support the “hospice/palliative/supportive care across the lifespan and with diverse populations” sphere. ELNEC is excited to launch a new feature on the website called the ELNEC Schools of Nursing Faculty Corner.
