by roma4204 Jan 4I am currently in ICU. I really think I would be interested in the role of the nurse who comes in and does our end of life consulting. I'm not on days right now and so I haven't been able to talk with our nurse about education, certs, etc.
So I was curious if anyone knows (in CA) what you need to carry out this professional role. I don't think you need a masters but I could be wrong. thanks.

The palliative certifications are generally recommended after practice in the area for 2000 hours or so.
Many palliative programs use APNs for inpatient rounding but not all.
