Abstract: In 2015, AACN and ELNEC convened a national panel of experts in nursing education, gerontology, and palliative care to revise the 1997 AACN Peaceful Death document and establish palliative and end-of-life nursing care competencies. The ELNEC train-the-trainer project to date has over 21,100 trainers training over 550,000 professionals in all 50 states and 88 countries. ELNEC has incorporated the newly-revised 17 palliative care competencies into 6 one-hour online modules available for implementation in nursing curriculum. To facilitate dissemination, the modules are available to all schools of nursing in four northwest states free of charge, and to all other schools across the country at a minimal cost, for one year. The use of these competencies, when embedded in the undergraduate curriculum, will empower future nurses to be leaders in advocating for access to quality palliative care and to compassionately promote and provide this essential care to older adults.
