The Department of Veterans Affairs is partnering with the End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium to educate its nurse workforce on how to better provide palliative care. The three-year project will be jointly administered by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, the Department of Veterans Affairs and City of Hope, a biomedical research, treatment and educational institution in southern California.
"Educating nurses to provide high quality care to Veterans begins with enhancing the expertise of nurse educators on how to best meet the healthcare needs of this distinct patient population," said AACN President Kathleen Potempa. "AACN welcomes this opportunity to collaborate with our colleagues at the City of Hope and the VA to administer this critical faculty development initiative, which will improve palliative care services for America's Veterans and their families."
