Online Continuing Education for Nurses

Online Continuing Education for Nurses

Continuing Education for Nurses

As a nurse staying up to date on your continuing education is important. But there are often so many options that it can be hard to decide what is the best course of action.  This post discusses continuing education for nurses so you can make the best decision for you.

What is Continuing Education?

Continuing Education is exactly how it sounds.  It is basically education provided for adults after they have left the formal education system, consisting typically of short or part-time courses.

Most states require nurses to complete some form of continuing education every two to three years as a condition of licensure. Even if your state board does not require any education for continuing competence for renewal, you may still be required by your employer or nursing association for job-specific certifications. So all in all, continuing education for nurses is something you should count on being required.

One of my favorite ways to get my CE hours is online. These units allow me to take the hours when they best suit my schedule.  I simply follow along with the courses, pass the quiz and evaluation and then print off my certificate.  Nothing is easier for getting my CE hours.

Nursing CE

Nursing CE is one of the best ways I have found to earn my CE hours.   They make getting my hours done a breeze.  I am able to filter the continuing education hours by state and my specialty so I can make sure I am taking the exact courses I need to maintain my license.  They even have courses geared to individual states. Let’s say I was in Florida, I could take the Florida Laws and Rules course.
