CEN renewal

[illinicari11]

Has anyone else renewed their CEN using CEs? I'm just not sure how many CEs ACLS/PALS is worth. This CEUs vs. CEs is confusing me and I'm trying really hard not to get audited!!

Yes, several times. Very easy. Go to the BCEN website, where there is a link for instructions how to renew, including the CEU way and those that meet the requirements.The # of CEUs for ACLS and PALS are on your certificate, depending on whether you did two days or one. My CEUs were all from JEN Journal, Critical Care Journal and Emergency conferences, including an MD Emergency conference. If I remember correctly, you need 100 CEUs for CEN renewal, with 75 of those being clinical. The website spells it out very well. The only small glitch for me was typing it in online last year, but those kinks may have been ironed out by now. You can also call the BCEN for some guidance.
