You are referring to CEUs. They are required in some states for license renewal, but not in others. Check with your BON to verify the number of CEUs required to renew your license. If you work in a state that requires CEUs for renewal, your employer probably offers a number of inservices throughout the year that will help you to meet this requirement. Upon completion of such an inservice, you should receive a certificate stating your name and the number of CEUs awarded. Keep these in a safe place in case the BON requests verification of your CEUs.
There are also on-line CEU offerings and self-study programs which can be found in nursing journals.
You are very wise to begin to work on this requirement well in advance of renewal time!
Would you like to comment?
