title: The national AgeWISE pilot.
abstract: AgeWISE is a 6-month nurse residency program designed to prepare hospital nurses to meet the needs of older adults, a population that comprises nearly 50% of all US hospital admissions. The goal of AgeWISE, now being piloted in 12 hospitals in the United States, is to produce a tested and refined national model for building geropalliative care capacity among hospital nurses.
