NAPNES Allied Health Professional Long-Term Care Certification (AHP LTC)
NAPNES Nursing Certifications now offers National Association of Practical Nurse Education and Service (NAPNES) approved courseware for LPN/LVN Post Licensure; CNA, PCT, HHA and other Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (we consider Allied Health Professionals) in Long Term Care.
The NAPNES Allied Health Professional (AHP) Long-Term Care (LTC) Certification is a comprehensive program covering the entire lifespan of individuals considered elderly and/or chronically ill.
The program is a new certification for NAPNES and includes unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) for the AHP LTC.
The AHP LTC is comprehensive and includes all age groups with chronic illness because while the certification program and exam cover nursing care in geriatrics, the content also has broader appeal for excellence in nursing care for all age groups with chronic illnesses.
The AHP LTC designation confirms to employers that the candidate is knowledgeable in long-term care and is engaged in skill-building.
The AHP LTC courseware sometimes reviews and other time introduces participants to the concepts, skills, and techniques associated with geriatric and long-term care (LTC) nursing.
The curriculum includes theory related to nursing care provided to geriatric patients, and providing a safe, clean and comfortable environment for the long term care, chronically ill patient.
The certification program includes a review of anatomy and physiology, and therapeutic/modified diets for various body systems.
Certification in long term care shows employers, colleagues, patients, and the public that you are committed to excellence in caring for people covering their entire lifespan of individuals considered elderly and/or chronically ill.
This learned and earned excellence includes increased professional credibility, recognition of your expertise, greater impact as a job candidate, and a heightened sense of personal achievement.
Textbooks are required for each course and are not included. Don’t forget to visit the online bookstore to purchase your textbook.
