Companies that offer FREE ce have to go through the same process as nursing organizations and universities that provide nursing credit. The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) (ihttp://www.nursingworld.org/ancc/ )s the primary body and authority on nursing continuing education. You need to look at the credentialing statement on your ce certificate to see who is the provider of the ce credit. You should contact your state board of nursing if you feel the program might not satisfy your state's requirement for ce and licensure.
