How do you claim CEUs from UTA?

Published

I have completed classes at UTA and can use them towards my CEUs for my nursing license renewal. Has anyone ever done this before? The website to the nursing license renewal asks for a provider number but I don't know where I get that from. I've tried doing searches at UTA and I can't find anything.

Can anyone help? I'm renewing my California license.

Thanks!

From the California Board of Registered Nursing Continuing Education for License Renewal page:

Courses taken for college or university credit can be used for RN continuing education. To compute the number of units earned into contact hours use the following formula:

  • 1 quarter unit = 10 contact hours
  • 1 semester unit = 15 contact hours

I saw that. I still can't find what the provider number is supposed to be. I've called UTA and I have called the BON and haven't heard back from either. BON doesn't even take a number, just says "call later" and hangs up

The provider number is for an approved provider of continuing education. You'll likely not find any university, even in Californa, that has one.

You should be fine to just submit your transcript as proof of completion of the hours.

This is prob the right answer. But I was thinking - could the Texas Board of Education have a provider number for the school? Most likely any appropriate course taught by the Univ could be used for CEUs by any discipline for their CEU needs (like social work, psychology, law school, etc?

Just a thought.

The Texas BON does not aprove contact hours. It is done by the Texas Nurses Association, and only if an application is presented to them for approval. Once approved, the application is given a provider number to identify the course, it's purpose, objectives, content and presenters. Academic hours do not need a provider number as academic courses already follow education standards. If you are trying to get contact hours for California you need to follow the guidelines as per their NPA. I have a feeling that a copy of your transcript will suffice. It does in Texas for Texas RN's.

classicdame - You forgot the all-important obligatory seminar attendee evaluation and post-test!!! You know the one - the one you can't give out early because everyone will cheat and sneak out early BEFORE they get their certificate of CEUs.

Oh how well I remember that.

OOPS. I do tend to be wordy. That is an education standard to determine if the purpose was met. I also failed to mention sign-in sheet with two forms of ID excluding SSN
