Turning In-service training into CEU's

[cmcssnurse]

Does anyone know how to qualify an inservice as a CEU? I was able to secure a Board Certified Pediatrician to come speak to our nurses about Asthma, when the day was complete, one of the nurses said she wanted to make sure her name was signed up for the CEU credit, that she would need it for her license......I did not tell them it would be a CEU, but it is a good idea....anyone ever had any experience with this, even if it is too late for the Asthma conference, maybe for next time....................
