Continuing Education
APHON offers opportunities to earn continuing nursing education credits online
through JOPON. Online JOPON provides the same CE approved articles that
appear in the printed JOPON, online (see below).
APHON members can read the articles and earn one contact hour of CE credit per article after taking the post-test and completing the evaluation. You may complete as many articles as you wish, but you cannot use the same article twice for CE credit. The cost to take the exam and receive CE credit is $15.00.
Here's how it works:
- Click on an article below and read it online.
- Take the post-test.
- After you take the post-test, you register and submit payment on a secure site.
- The post-test is graded immediately and you can then print your certificate of completion.
You can keep track of your JOPON Contact Hours online by clicking here. This site is user-friendly and will provide you with a list of all JOPON articles you have started and/or completed for continuing education credit. The individual articles appearing below are approved for continuing nursing education for a period of two years. Please refer to the individual article for specific expiration date.
Purpose
The purpose of the JOPON CE program is to provide nurses with another vehicle from which to earn CE credit in addition to APHON’s live conferences and courses. Continuing education articles discuss current trends and issues affecting pediatric hematology/oncology nursing.
Objectives
Each article will have relevant objectives, but the overall objective for this educational activity is to provide pediatric hematology/oncology nurses with the opportunity for learner-directed continuing education that will benefit their clinical practice and thus their patients and their families.
Who Should Participate
The target audience is APHON’s target population: registered nurses whose patients are children, adolescents and/or young adults with cancer and/or blood disorders. APHON’s strategic plan calls for educational opportunities to be offered at the general, intermediate and advanced levels in order to meet the needs of the entire membership.
Continuing Education Credit
Each article provides 1 nursing contact hour.
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.
Disclosure
A staff member, volunteer (committee member or JOPON author), or family member who has an affiliation with a commercial company must declare that relationship in advance of involvement with an education activity that could be used as a forum to promote the interest of that company and its products.
If there are any disclosures to report, they will be indicated in the individual activity.
Off-Label Use
Any articles containing off-label use will be indicated.
