Excellence in teaching end-of-life care: a new multimedia toolkit for nurse educators.

Abstract

Nursing strongly values comfort and patient-centered care at the end of life, but little end-of-life content is included in most basic nursing education programs. An innovative way to improve nursing education about the end-of-life transition is to provide nurse educators with an electronic toolkit. This article describes a newly created multimedia toolkit (TNEEL), which includes engaging strategies for teaching and learning about end-of-life care.
