CE requirements for VA?

Hi! I am renewing my license for the first time and don't know where I can take CE courses to fulfill my requirements? Is Elite Continuing Education a valid site? I need CEs specific for the Virginia License. The Virginia Board of Nursing website is very confusing and looks like it hasn't been updated since 2016... I keep going back and forth and not finding a link to CE courses I can take. Can I take courses from nurse.com?

I also checked the Virginia Nurses Association, but to get all my hours it would be $450 through them!!:eek:

I don't have that kind of cash!! I don't want to end up doing the wrong courses though and then get in trouble for taking the wrong courses... or falling for a scam website. Any recommendations?

    From VA 18VAC90-19-160 Continued Competency Requirements for Renewal of an Active License Section B provides a listing of agencies and organizations authorized to recognize and approve continuing education.

    I suspect that most of the major online CEU providers should provide education offerings approved by on of the required agencies. I am unfamiliar with Elite Continuing Education, however have used CEUFast. All of the courses that I used had been approved by ANCC. Also, if you provide your state of licensure with CEUFast they can provide you a listing of any specific required courses.

    Best wishes.

    the cdc has cme, nurse.com, quantum ce, medscape, the american nurse documentary will give you cme credit for viewing it, johns hopkins has ce for nurses, ahrq does too. i use elite and they are ancc approved. i spent 60$ this year to get 1 yr unlimited ce. for wa state i only need to do 45 ce every 3 years so the deal made sense for me. also i am pursuing a certification and i am able to get all the specialty cme i need for the test at the same time. also, if you are able to find any free nursing journal article they often have cme included for free. va tms also has some cme you can use. (i work for the seattle va).
