Introduction to Palliative Care
This workshop provides you with an overview of palliative care.
Offered exclusively to registered nurses (RNs and APRNs), participants will earn six Continuing Education Units through Adelphi University’s College of Nursing and Public Health, an approved provider of continuing nursing education by the Northeast Multistate Division, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation. You will also be awarded a digital badge that you can add to your résumé or social media.
You will learn the history and philosophy of such care, as well as its various models and core concepts. You will also explore the role of the nurse as a member of the interdisciplinary palliative care team.
Can be taken individually or as part of the Healthcare: Palliative Care certificate program.
Workshops taken individually will not count towards the certificate, but will earn six CEU’s and a digital badge. If you wish to earn the certificate, you must apply to the certificate program and complete any six of the seven workshops.

Her life experience has directed her to her passion to help support patients in their journey to ensure their life and end of life has quality. Her passion for advance care planning has been a personal and professional journey. She lost her mother to a long and protracted chronic illness in 2006 which prompted her book, “If I only Knew, Making Medical Decisions as we Navigate Through Life’s Journey.”
