is Elite Continuing Ed legit?

I got an unrequested home study course in the mail for NY Infection Control & Prevention of HIV and HBV. It's an open book exam for $15. Is it legit? Is it required? Should I save my money? Thanks very much for all your help.

The answer to your question lies in their CEU provider number and if your state Board of Nursing recognizes it. http://w3.rn.com/nursing-education/accreditation.aspx is an example of what you're looking for CEU provider number wise. If they can provide you a number that you can independently verify with the board that's fine, but if they hem & haw or otherwise try change the subject then it's like doing blood work without your gloves on. Good luck...PM me if you need additional help.

I am in Florida and used Elite Learning  CEU which mailed me a Booklet stating that they met the requirements for renewal. They do not meet the HIV/AIDS CEU requirement. I had to buy that separately from another source after trying to renew my license a few times realizing that was what was missing. I won't use Elite again in the future, this was the first time I ever had a problem with CEUs since I have been a Nurse.
