Holding hands with patient

The End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) Project is a national and international end-of-life/palliative care educational program administered by City of Hope (COH) designed to enhance palliative care in nursing. Nurses spend more time with patients who are facing the end of life than any other member of the health care team. Yet, studies have shown that many nurses feel inadequately prepared to provide the comprehensive care so important at the end of life. 

ELNEC Core curriculum is focused on training staff nurses, advanced practice nurses, undergraduate and graduate nursing faculty administrators and researchers who work in acute care settings (i.e., medical-surgical and oncology units), clinics, homecare, hospice, and palliative care setting. This course will include lecture, case studies and interactivity covering pain and symptom management, ethical issues in palliative care nursing, culturally/spiritual aspects, communication, loss, grief, and bereavement, care at the final hours, and self-care techniques.
