I am a new grad working in the ER. While most new grads have 2 years after graduation to come up with 30 CEU hours in both the state I moved from and the state I live in, I have until Dec 05 (I recently moved from one state to another and due to the application process etc, I have only until dec 05). I would like to take CEUs that will help me become a better nurse generally and specifically in ER. Does anyone have suggestions of classes to take and/or where to look for CEU classes? I am new and have not had to do anything like this before. I don't even know where to look. I know 30 hours isn't that much, but I don't want to wait until Oct and then realize I don't have much time left. Thanks for all your suggestions in advance!

i'm assuming you have done ACLS and PALS?
ACLS and PALS are done. I am planning on taking the CEN test within the next year or so. I would just like to know where to look for good classes to better myself and advance my education.

Good for you what about TNCC and ENPC. You need to take a basic arrythmia course and 12 lead ekg course. Hospitals who hire you will provide you with the courses you need also they pay for them. any courses given by PESI are excellent they are all over. Look around at hospitals and universities as they have critical care courses
