KelleyThis award is given for Dr. Kelley's outstanding work in disseminating and implementing the ELNEC-Graduate curriculum at the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing.  She and the other three award winners will be honored at the 2008 AACN Master's Conference in Newport Beach, CA on February 21. 

Dr. Kelley continues her commitment to provide education to graduate nursing students in excellent end-of-life/palliative care.

The End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) project is a national education initiative to improve end-of-life care in the United States.  The project provides undergraduate and graduate nursing faculty, CE providers, staff development educators, specialty nurses in pediatrics, oncology, critical care and geriatrics, and other nurses with training in end-of-life care so they can teach this essential information to nursing students and practicing nurses. The project, which began in February 2000, was initially funded by a major grant from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF).  Additional funding has been received from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the Aetna Foundation, the Archstone Foundation, and the California HealthCare Foundation.
