CE Education

[color=#333333]i'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but it seems pretty general. it is aimed at pa nurses, but i believe the ces would be good anywhere. and the first course they're offering is free!

new nursing continuing education web portal from penn state

the penn state hcgne, the penn state school of nursing, and penn state outreach have developed a web portal that will make it easier for registered nurses working in hospitals, home healthcare nurses, school nurses, and other nursing professionals to complete nursing certificate programs or fulfill their continuing education requirements. the new portal offers courses that supply nurses and nurse educators with the most relevant, up-to-date information on topics related to their field.

to introduce the new portal, the penn state hcgne will offer the first course at no charge. the course, research applications: delivering mouth care to persons with dementia, was developed by hartford center faculty member rita jablonski, phd, rn, anp, and instructs participants on the best methods for providing mouth care to patients. application of the need-driven dementia-compromised behavior model is also discussed. the continuing education program is now available at: www.hhdev.psu.edu/hartford/ceu.html.

Thanks for posting the above link, however when I clicked on it, all it showed was a Microsoft Outlook Express sign in page. As a nurse in PA I would really take advantage of this. Between the new state requirements and my Med-surg certification requirements, I take advantage of all the free CE's I can get.

Thanks again.

I don't know why that happened, it worked when I clicked on it:

If that doesn't work, I suggest you go to the college of health and human development at Penn State and then to the John A. Hartford Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence at Penn State, and then click on continuing education. It's not only free, but I can assure that it will be high quality with that background
