JOPON Continuing Nursing Education
APHON offers opportunities to earn continuing nursing education credits online through articles from the Journal of Pediatric Oncology Nursing (JOPON). Online JOPON provides the same CNE approved articles that appear in the printed JOPON online.
APHON members can read the articles and earn 1 CNE 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 CNE credit. The cost to take the exam and receive CNE credit is $15.00.
CNE Post-Test and Evaluation Details
- Click on the “Purchase CNE Test” next to the article below. This link will direct you to purchase the exam in the APHON bookstore.
- In the APHON bookstore, click “Add to Cart”. In the pop up window, click “Check Out.
- If you are not already logged in to the APHON Web site, you will be prompted to log-in. The log-in window will ask for your APHON ID and Password. If you have not yet set up an APHON website account the log-in window will provide instructions to do so.
- Once you are logged-in, a new window will open and allow you to purchase the selected post-test. Please note: if you wish to purchase multiple CNE post-tests from the bookstore, you must purchase them all at one time as the Web site will only allow one CNE purchase transaction, per credit card, per day. Once all your purchases have been selected, you may complete your credit card purchase.
