  2. Susan K. Hall, MSN, RN, AOCNOncology Nurse, St. Joseph Hospital, Wichita, KS. • The State of Palliative Care in My Institution • For the past two years, we have worked to educate our physicians and nurses in palliative care. For the past two months, we have piloted palliative care on the oncology unit. At this point, about 50% of our oncologists see the value in palliative care. We have found that those patients receiving a palliative care consult have better symptom control and fewer days spent in the hospital. We are in the process now of gathering data and will present it at the next tumor board meeting and to our administrators. Every nurse working on the oncology unit has attended a 2-day ELNEC-Core course. • Challenges/Overcoming Challenges • #1: Lack of education of physicians and other team members: ELNEC course provided every 3 months. Palliative care team continues to offer services to all physicians. Nurses make rounds with the palliative care team each team. • What Makes Me Smile? • My children • Doing the best I can for my patients Introduction I am an oncology nurse educator, committed to providing safe and compassionate care to my patients and their families in our 26-bed cancer center..
