2019 National RN Educational Webinar Series: Paintint the Picture of Hospice Eligibility

Fort Worth, TX
The Fort Worth - Dallas Regional Chapter HPNA


Join us Tuesday, July 23 at 3:00 p.m. EDT for the next edition of the 2019 National RN Educational Webinar Series, when Eunita Robertson, MBA, MSN, RN-BC, CHPN, CHA, presents Painting the Picture of Hospice Eligibility. This course is offered to all interested participants as a continuing nursing education service and to HPNA members with no course attendance fee. 

As palliative care programs continue to grow, the demand for highly competent and qualified nursing staff increases. Recognition of a patient’s status facilitates transitions to hospice and provides opportunities to discuss end-of-life care and goals with both the patient and family. The purpose of this activity is to promote prompt recognition and transitioning of hospice-eligible patients to the most appropriate level of care by equipping nurses with the tools and resources needed to support effective transitions. 

Eunita Robertson has over 20 years of experience in home health and hospice and provides education and training on end-of-life care. She functioned in numerous roles at Alacare Home Health and Hospice, and currently serves Encompass Health as Assistant Administrator for Hospice. Ms. Robertson holds several specialty certifications including CHPN and CHPCA and is both an HPNA Approved Educator and an ELNEC Trainer. She is a member of the Alabama State Nurses Association, Alabama Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, and serves HPNA as the Southwest District Leader, on the RN Professional Development Advisory Council, and as past-president of the Central Alabama Chapter.
