I apologize ahead of time if this was asked or posted already. I did a search and did not come up with the answer.
I am a soon to be CNA. I know about the CEU's that are required. I see alot of sites on the site here that offer these.
Does anyone use these and which sites are the best?
Just curious.

Frequently, the CEU's required for CNA's are provided by the facility in the form of your yearly mandatory requirements - CPR, universal precautions and the like. I'm not aware of sites that offer specifically for CNA's but will see what I can dig up. What type of facility do you work in? How many hours are required in your state?

i agree, all of the obra hours required for our cna's are provided by our facility. you have to attend x amount of inservices each year to keep current. i have not heard of other ceu's that are required.

Thank you. In CT you need 12, I believe thats what my instructor said. The only problem is that we are moving within the next 4 monts. Change of duty station so I am not going to be working anywhere until the end of the year.
But thank you for the replies.
