Be honest, when do you start working on your CEUs?

[DesiDani]

Are you the "Oh %^&# I have to get my CEUs" 2 weeks before they are due (seen that)?

Slow and steady?

Some here and some there?

Get it done ASAP?

My specialty organization has a monthly journal that usually includes 2-3 CE articles. Membership includes the cost of the CEs. I do them as the journal is issued. Otherwise, I'd go crazy trying to complete 125 hours for my certification. (Much higher need there than for licensure)

  My job offers "Nursingcenter.com" for free, guess they have a special deal with them.

Usually right before it's due LOL. I just pay a company and do the CEU's for my state.

Slow and steady because I do a lot of classes and professional development for my cert and career goals. I’ve never not had enough for renewal, but sometimes for my cert I need to push towards the end.

Oof, lucky. My professional org offers a discount only on their journal ceus and they’re still like $10 an hour so I never do those.

I use CEUfast.com and do most of what is required just after I renew. Then, I do one here and there, whatever look interesting.

[Sour Lemon]

I do them mere minutes before I renew my license.

[Jedrnurse, BSN, RN]

I do one online session a month. It's easier if you pick something that really interests you. CDC and Medscape both offer free ones.

[NRSKarenRN, BSN, RN]

Try to do courses throughout the year.

Yearly I update my blog article for FREE CE offerings

I need to do that, but that goal doesnt last a week after I renew

[Katie82, RN]

It's an ongoing thing for me. Elite has a yearly subscription and a lot of good classes. I work on it all year, and usually have far more than I need come renewal time.
