Hospice and palliative care nurses are registered nurses who specialize in providing compassionate care for patients with life-threatening illnesses that may be terminal. Care goals focus on relieving symptoms, rather than curing disease, and ensuring the patient is kept as comfortable as possible. Working with terminally ill patients can be emotionally challenging, but it can also be the most rewarding career choice.

Some healthcare employers may prefer hospice palliative care nurse job candidates with Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse (CHPN), Certified Hospice and Palliative Pediatric Nurse (CHPPN), Advanced Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse (ACHPN), Certified in Thanatology - dying, death and bereavement (CT) or AHNCC - Holistic Nurse-Board Certified (HN-BC), and some may even require specific professional certifications.

Having a AHNCC - Holistic Nurse-Board Certified (HN-BC) validates your knowledge and skills as a hospice palliative care nurse and your dedication to continuing your education in your chosen field. All of which makes you a more desirable job candidate to healthcare employers.
