Goal
The course will give a broad view of nursing care for the patient at the end of life with a focus on hospice and palliative principles. The course has been specially developed to assist registered nurses in preparation for the National Board for Certification of Hospice and Palliative Nurses (NBCHPN) registered nurse certification exam. However, this would be a great educational course for any nurse taking care of patients with advanced disease at the end of life.
