The NAPNES Allied Health Professional (AHP) Long-Term Care (LTC) Certification
Includes all age groups with chronic illness because while the certification program and exam cover nursing care in geriatrics, the content also has a broader appeal for excellence in nursing care for all age groups with chronic illnesses. AHP LTC designation confirms to employers that the candidate is knowledgeable in long-term care and is engaged in skill-building.
The NAPNES AHP LTC course reviews or introduces participants to the concepts, skills, and techniques associated with geriatric and long-term care (LTC) nursing. The curriculum includes theory related to the nursing care of geriatric patients in order to provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for the LTC, chronically ill patient. The certification program includes a review of anatomy and physiology and therapeutic/modified diets for health needs.
