CEU question

Published

i was originally liscensed as an rn in mn and we moved to va! my question is if the ceu's or conact hours we recieved in mn are "official ceu's?" they are not required in va???!! weird! i want to keep my mn license current, which you can do without practicing in the state as long as you have ceu's! my rn director said that in va the ceu's have to be applied for inadvance by the presenter and that of coorifice costs $$$. for example in mn pals class (2 days) you recieve 16 contact hours/ceu's ~~~~ va you get nothing! they are just not required for renewing~~ and not offered at inservices etc!

are the ceu's in mn "unofficial"??? i just want to keep my license in mn too!

thanks

if i am understanding you correctly, you said the presentor must apply in advance...........this means the person/entity that is providing the seminar/course must apply for approval with the bon before you can actually get ceu acceptance by said board.

in my state pals recerts are not allowed as ce by the bon.

inservice is also not accepted by my bon.

and, not knowing what ceu's you received in mn, it is not possible to know if they are "official" with the bon your mentioned.
