Best way to study for Hospice Certification

Published

Hi everyone,

I need to study and pass the cert exam (RN) since we are union nurses and my salary grade depends on having that cert. We also get reimbursed for the test plus we get a bonus of about 400 dollars the first time we take the exam.

So recently I've heard that studying the question guide that the association sells will be useless since now you won't be seeing exam questions that are similar to that guide. I'm wondering what others might be using (tho it seems not many of you are being required to take the exam).

Any tips anyone might have heard about would be very welcomed....

Thanks.....

Just curious...do you have stats which reflect this?

No I don't have any stats. It was based on what I was recently reading online here. Seems that many who don't have to get certified won't. It's expensive, and it may not contribute much especially to those who've been a hospice nurse for some time.

Just my opinion.....
