Baccalaureate nursing education and palliative care

Abstract

A Palliative Care Competency survey was disseminated to third and fourth year nursing students to evaluate the perceived competency and preparation for providing palliative care. Fifty-seven percent reported satisfaction with their education, and 22% reported feeling comfortable providing palliative care. Gaps in perceived competencies provide insight into educational programming needs.
