ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
COVID-19 has highlighted the need for universal palliative care access. Nurses require palliative care education throughout the trajectory of professional training to effectively achieve this vision.METHOD:
Review of the National Consensus Project Clinical Practice Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care and use of educational exemplars highlight opportunities for improving palliative nursing education in academic and clinical settings.RESULTS:
Consistently applying palliative care principles affects nursing outcomes across myriad domains of person-centered services. All nurses are responsible for delivering primary palliative care, but they cannot practice what they do not know. The End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium Project offers evidence-based education for nursing students and practicing nurses nationally and globally.CONCLUSION:
Equipping both nurses and nursing students with palliative care education is critical to improve the overall quality of health care throughout the continuum during COVID-19 and in the face of future health crises. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2021;52(3)130-135.].
