Baccalaureate nursing students' engagement with end-of-life curriculum: A grounded theory study.

Background: The art of being prepared to support patients and their families during end of life experiences is not always emphasized in nurse education. Despite the efforts from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing and End of Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC), only 25% of nursing schools across the United States are using their modules.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore how student nurses engage with end of life education.
