UP to Date

Could you elaborate on what "up to date" is... I am not a NP yet, (in process)... so that is something I haven't heard of yet.. thank you.

how many are you using up to date in your practice, i would like to hear Pro's and Con's and is there something you prefer over another and why, thanks,

Up to date is good and bad. A lot of times you have a question and it just doesn't answer it. Sometimes it is good though. Other times it is very long winded and verbose and you have to porifice through pages of stuff to find the answer you want. Personally I don't really like it but there really isn't much else out there that is a good alternative.

thanks are the cme's that are offered can i use them for recert for ancc
