The Certified Hospice and Palliative Licensed Nurse (CHPLN®) exam from the Hospice and Palliative Credentialing Center (HPCC) is designed for hospice and palliative practical/vocational nurses. HPNA offers several educational resources to help you prepare for your upcoming CHPLN® exam.
HPCC is not able to conduct or recommend specific exam preparation materials. The use of HPNA exam preparation materials does not imply successful performance on HPCC certification exams. The use of HPNA exam preparation materials does not give an advantage over candidates who do not choose to use them.
This self-paced interactive review course includes seven modules with interactive case studies and knowledge checks. Interactions are designed to be engaging and provide feedback that reinforces underlying content. You are then invited to problem solve, which demands use of critical thinking skills moving beyond recall of knowledge to analysis, evaluation, and application. This conceptual learning experience enables you to develop a real understanding of the subject matter, which leads to greater levels of confidence and therefore greater levels of engagement. Each module has its own objectives and slide presentation with accompanying audio.

Patient care in end-stage disease process
Pain and comfort management

Care of the patient, family, and other caregivers
