Posted over 6 years ago by Kristin Reid

PER HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CREDENTIALING CENTER:

March 2018 Testing Window is Now Open

  The online application deadline for the March 2018 testing window is Thursday, February 15. Please download and/or print the appropriate handbook for the exam you plan to take. The candidate handbooks are available online at www.goHPCC.org and contain information about each exam such as how to apply, fees, schedules, detailed content outline of the information covered on the exam, suggested references for study, and much more! Online registration is also available.

Be sure to view the 2018 certification application fee schedule. HPNA members continue to receive substantial exam discounts as a membership benefit! Keep your HPNA membership current to receive this and many other benefits. If interested, visit advancingexpertcare.org/membership.

NOTE: 2017 was the last opportunity to take the Certified Hospice and Palliative Care Administrator (CHPCA) or Certified Hospice and Palliative Licensed Nurse (CHPLN) examinations as a new credential. Beginning on January 1, 2018, the Hospice and Palliative Credentialing Center will no longer offer these exams. However, HPCC will continue to offer a recertification process for individuals who have obtained and wish to maintain these two certifications.
