Course Fee: The course fee includes: all course materials, copy of The Pediatric Chemotherapy and Biotherapy Curriculum, and continuing education credits.
Attendees:
Participants must be licensed registered nurses. This course content is appropriate for nurses who are new to pediatric and adolescent chemotherapy and biotherapy administration, as well as for those who want a comprehensive review.
Upon successful completion of the course, post-test and evaluation, participants will receive an APHON Pediatric Chemotherapy and Biotherapy Provider Card. This card validates that the participant has completed the education and demonstrated the knowledge needed to administer chemotherapy and biotherapy agents to pediatric patients.
It is the responsibility of the participant to ensure their provider status is renewed with APHON every 3 years on or before the provider card expiration. Information regarding the online renewal process is found on the APHON website at www.aphon.org. Active providers auditing the course that wish to renew their provider status must wait until their renewal season is active.
Continuing Education Credit:
The Association of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Nurses (APHON) is accredited as a provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation. Participants will be awarded 14 CNE contact hours upon completion of the course, post-test and evaluation. Active providers auditing the course as a refresher will be awarded 14 CNE contact hours upon completion of the course and evaluation.
All disclosures will be mentioned at the beginning of the course.
This program includes 6.25 hours of pharmacology content. APHON does not award pharmacology credit. APHON recommends that attendees who require pharmacology credit for licensure retain a copy of the provider course brochure for supportive documentation to submit to their state’s nursing board. Please note that CNE contact hours are not applicable towards pharmacology content. The content may be applied in only one area, nursing contact hours or pharmacology content.
Additional Information:
The APHON Pediatric Chemotherapy and Biotherapy Course is NOT a certification course, and is not intended to measure competency. Individual institutions are responsible for determining their own requirements for assessing clinical competency.
