CPHON Review Course- Virtual Self Learning

Pittsburgh, PA US

Nurses that wish to become a certified pediatric hematology/oncology nurse may not have a comprehensive knowledge of all the diagnoses that they care for in their practice.  The aim of the CPHON Review Course is to give background information regarding pathophysiology of specific diseases.  Reviewing the treatments used for childhood cancers and hematologic disorders helps to provide a better understanding of the care they provide. 

 

In order to claim your continuing education credits, you must watch all CPHON videos posted in TEAMS.  After reviewing the videos, you must complete the quiz with a passing score of 83% and complete the course evaluation.
