Educating nurse leaders in ethics and end-of-life care.
The Midwest Bioethics Center's Nursing Leadership Institute 1999 focused on leadership in ethics and end-of-life care. Twenty-four nurses attended the four-day retreat, during which national speakers, community experts, and Center staff facilitated the continuing education of nurse leaders dedicated to improving end-of-life care in their communities. All participants in the Institute agreed to design and implement a community project for their constituency. Project reports will be made prior to the next nursing leadership institute. This article examines the role of nurses in providing end-of-life care.
