The course is designed for nurses preparing to take the Certification Examination for Hospice & Palliative Nurses and supports hospice and palliative nurses’ growth in their overall knowledge of the specialty. Course topics include, but are not limited to: patterns of disease advancement, identifying goals of care, pain and symptom management, grief and bereavement, and ethical issues at the end of life. Incorporated throughout the course are practice exam questions similar to those that are on the HPCC certification exam so that participants will be prepared when it is time to take the exam.
Who Should Attend?
