CDE courses & Diabetic Foot/Nail Course
I am looking for info as to obtaining a CDE certification. Do you have to be obtaining a Masters Degree in order to be a CDE? I have my BSN but really have no interest in going back to college, racking up more student loans, etc. Is there an online course I could take? Any info would be helpful.
Also, if anyone is interested... Emory University in Atlanta, GA is in the works of scheduling a Diabetic Foot/Nail course. I am in contact with one of the instructors... no date set up yet but hopefully it will be soon. It is a 2 day course and you will also get 4 hours of hands on training with patients. Then of course, there is the certification exam... I haven't explored that area yet.
If interested in attending the DFN course at Emory... you can go to their website and contact one of the instructors to let you know when the course will be available.
