Nursing Continuing Education
May 20th, 2008In the ever-changing arena of healthcare, nurses must be diligent in their profession, and stay abreast of constantly changing technology, research, and practice related issues. There are many nursing continuing education courses available in a variety of topics pertinent to the nurses’ area of expertise or interests. Most states require a number (which varies by state) of continuing education units (CEUs) to be completed each license renewal period, usually every two years.
There are many websites devoted strictly to CEUs, as well as those offered by various professional nursing organizations. Some nursing continuing education providers offer free courses, some offer unlimited CEUs for a flat fee per year, others base fees per course and number of CEUs awarded. Topics range from general, such as pain management or diabetes, to more specific, like intravascular catheter-related infections. Many courses can be combined with travel to fun destinations, with many discounts available for hotels, meals, and possibly some attractions, especially if attending a conference in the Las Vegas area.
