The End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) project is a national education initiative to improve end-of-life care in the United States. The project provides undergraduate and graduate nursing faculty, Clinical education providers, staff development educators, pediatric and oncology nurses, and other nurses with training in end-of-life care so they can teach this information to nursing students and practicing nurses. The project, which began in February 2000, was funded by a grant from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Other organizations have helped fund it as well.
To date, over 2,500 nurses have received ELNEC training through these national courses. ELNEC Trainers are working in many ways to present ELNEC and improve the quality of nursing care in innovative ways. Over the next few years, ELNEC Trainers will touch the lives of millions of people facing the end-of-life.
