Abstract
Current nursing education approaches toward death and dying are outdated and need revision. Inadequate preparation in this critical area causes problems for students after they graduate. Practicing nurses report they are unprepared academically to cope with the stresses of working with dying clients and their families. The author reviews the role of formalized death education programs for students in lowering personal anxiety and discomfort while teaching skillful interventions for professional practice.
