Acute and critical care nurses care for an increasingly aging population in the last stages of life. Unfortunately, many of these nurses do not have adequate education to care for this population. The End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) developed a critical care course, and in 2007 the Archstone Foundation provided a grant to educate critical care nurses in California. From 2007 to 2010, 388 participants completed the course and rated it very effective at improving end-of-life care education in their institution. After completing the national ELNEC-Critical Care train-the-trainer course, these participants taught more than 2900 classes in the ELNEC modules to their colleagues. Participants also revised policies and made system changes in their workplaces to provide better care to dying critical care patients and their families. The ELNEC/Archstone program improved acute and critical care nurses' end-of-life care education and, ultimately, practice and serves as a model for future educational efforts.
急重症护理护士在生命的最后阶段照顾着日益老龄化的人群。不幸的是，这些护士中有许多人没有足够的教育来照顾这一人群。临终护理教育联盟（ELNEC）开发了一门重症护理课程，2007年，阿契斯通基金会提供了一笔赠款，用于培训加利福尼亚州的重症护理护士。2007年至2010年，388名参与者完成了该课程，并认为该课程在提高其所在机构的临终护理教育方面非常有效。在完成全国性的ELNEC-重症护理培训师培训课程后，这些参与者向同事们讲授了2900多节ELNEC模块课程。参与者还修订了政策，并在工作场所进行了系统变革，以便为临终的重症护理患者及其家属提供更好的护理。ELNEC/阿契斯通项目改善了急重症护理护士的临终护理教育，最终也改善了实践，并为未来的教育工作树立了榜样。
