I am ambivalent about making such education "mandatory" through the auspices of the State Board of Nursing.   Nursing educators care deeply about such matters; bring it to their attention but please do not tack on one more mandatory item.  Encourage but don't set up a framewotk for more oversight.   I wonder how many nurses do get this type of information through their didactic courses in nursing school but do not take the initiative for continuing education around this subject?   I know that certain hospital systems include a mandatory training for its new nurse hires regarding organ donor education.   Perhaps this wonderful idea should actually be included in the "Undergraduate" and "Graduate" "Essentials" rather than become something that has to be monitored by the State Board of Nursing.  It's a thought.
