This looks intriguing. $165 for *56* CEU !!

I had problems with online ceu. My certification required 80% in subject and 20% related nursing material. About half of that 80% was online studies. They did not accept those hours. I ended up having to retake the exam. I aced it, but all those ceu s were then no good. So find out in advance IF yours will accept hours before you pay out/invest time .

I have a question, how do you get your certification in geriatrics? I am very interested in doing that!

Thanks,

Check out http://www.emedicine.com- I think they have a number of Geriatric-related CEU's. They're under ten bucks a piece...don't know where you can find free ones. ;>) After much searching, this was the only site that had just about every neonatal topic known to man. It is thorough. If I find any more, I'll let you know. I think your first 1.5 hrs are free there.

Cargal,I got my geri-certification thru The American Nurses Credentialing Center,which is a center through which the American Nurses Association can provide certification.The credentially programs are based on standards set by the ANA Congress for Nursing Practice.

I dont think they have a web site but the phone number is [800] 284-2378.
