Nurses spend more time with patients who Are facing the end-of-life issue than any other member of the health team. Studies have shown that many nurses feel inadequately prepared to provide the comprehensive/palliative care that is so important during this crucial time. Realizing this need, the Adelphi University School of Nursing is offering the ELNEC-Core Training program. The goal of this training program is to provide RNs with the knowledge necessary to enhance their comfort level in end-of-life care. The curriculum contains the essential modules addressing the critical aspects of the end-of-life and palliative care. If you are currently working in Homecare, Med/Surg, CCU, ICU, ED, Burn or Trauma unit, you do not want to miss this opportunity to attend this course.
