ELNEC: Founded so that no nurse feels at a loss at the bedside
IAHPC; by Judith Paice; 4/10/25
Imagine being a nurse at the bedside of a patient with serious illness and feeling very unprepared to deliver quality palliative care. Although improving, professional education continues to emphasize technology and curative procedures, with less information presented about the care needed for those with advanced disease. Through the vision of Dr. Betty Ferrell more than 25 years ago, the End-of-Life Nursing Consortium (ELNEC) was established to meet this need.
