AB  - There may not be enough hospice and palliative care specialized Registered Nurses  (RNs) to care for the Baby Boomer generation as they age.. The  Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that number of RN jobs will increase by 22.2% by 2018,  more than any other occupation, as elderly individuals constitute a larger portion of the  population and the demand for health services grows, and as the population ages, the needs for  hospice and palliative care increases. Preparing more nurses  for certification as hospice and palliative nurses will address this education gap, as the path to  certification requires substantial expert content instruction by recognized authorities in the field. This project was designed to develop an innovative online exam  preparation course as one possible strategy to increase access to certification exam preparation.
