oh yeah. just in the nick of time. finished my ceus. all in one fell swoop, one test, one subject/module, all 30 ceus done.
i liked the site i used (taylor college), i think it was set up nicely and actually offered something to learn. i picked the "diagnostic testing" module.
it went so well, i am going to wait until i can start taking my ceus for my renewal two years from now and do it. imagine, two years of knowing you already have it all done. sweet.
i'm so glad i paid to do them all at one time instead of fishing/searching through site after site for free ceus. i've heard horror stories from other nurses who did it that way and it took them multiple days.............all day. me, total time spent was about 4 hrs reading and
I have no issue with completing CEU's, or taking classes, which I already do. I think learning is important, and stimulating. BUT...on top of this, where I live, all RNs have mandatory learning plans to complete, just like we did in school. To the establishment...I say...get out of here!
I don't appreciate being forced to document and date and track ALL of my learning activities, because if I don't, and I get audited, then I risk having my license suspended. Learning..yes. Learning plans...a bit much. Who has time to do this on top of working? And a LIFE? Realistically, most nurses will sit there 2 weeks before they renew their license and write out their plans. They actually ask you on the registration renewal. Its a pain in the *** And yes... I do enjoy nursing, but my whole essence is not about being a nurse. We are all much more dynamic than that. These learning plans are exactly what we wrote in university and I hated doing them then. It was all so contrived and time consuming. Just learn already!!

Ummm, welll.............excuse me Ms. Presumptuous, but you don't know who you are talking to..............do you?

All kidding aside, I am your manager and I don't appreciate you coming on here talking about me, as if you were perfect and everything is always my fault. And BTW, while I was at that meeting I heard you and Theresa were talking about me..............................
(pauses a moment)
Hey, your manager is a dude right? If not, disregard the above as a joke. If yes......................hmmmm, you'll have to guess what the truth is.
Nah, my manager is a chick.
The weird thing...I am currently away from home, and my friend who's traveling with me is named Theresa! (She doesn't work with me, though, haha).
