Nathan Adelson Hospice, based in Las Vegas, NV, announced an expansion in the educational offerings delivered through its Training Center of Excellence. The improved, multi-faceted approach to learning includes tailored presentations, videos, case studies, role playing, mentoring, as well as technology and evidence-based tutorials.
“We are committed to increasing the quality and relevance of all our educational efforts,” said Carole Fisher, President and CEO of Nathan Adelson Hospice. “Excellent training not only benefits our current nursing staff, but it also attracts qualified nurses to our specialty which will enable us to better care for patients and families in the future.”
With the growing emphasis on preventive medicine, comfort care, and hospice care the healthcare industry is experiencing record demand for qualified nurses. The number of registered nurses needed in the United States is estimated to climb by over 28% by 2030. Nevada is expected to be in the top 10 states in the growth of all nursing positions with projected growth of over 40% during the next decade.
“After nurses enter the working world, the learning doesn’t stop. This is especially true in specialties such as hospice and palliative comfort care,” said Dr. Jennifer Poplawski, DNP, Director of Education. “Our philosophy is to learn together and then apply our learning so that patients and families quickly experience the benefit of our education.”
