The Purpose of this study was to investigate the actual status and knowledge about hospice among nursing students in Korea. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test and one-way ANOVA. 433 participants completed surveys. The results demonstrated that high level of hospice knowledge was found in most of nursing students whereas very low scores found in detailed and professional contents including side effects of analgesics and care for rest. Greater knowledge of hospice was associated with age, grade, necessity perception about hospice and main provider of hospice. Most of the respondents were aware of hospice and replied that the role of nurses in hospice was recognized with huge significance. Therefore, professional and systematic hospice education should be opened as a single course in nursing curriculum and included contents such as analgesics and care for rest. This would help nursing students to understand of hospice care and enable terminal patients to provide high quality hospice care.
