Most state boards of nursing require that you complete a certain amount of continuing education every few years in order to keep your license in good standing. These requirements may be stated in terms of continuing education units, or CEUs. If the nursing license is the means to check the competence of nursing graduates before allowing them to begin practicing, CEU requirements ensure that practicing nurses have the know-how of the latest treatment techniques in the field.
Continuing education also gives nurses the opportunity to explore and learn about specific areas like pain management, geriatrics, or home health, and hospice care. Nurses in many states must earn CEUs in order to renew their licenses. Many employers have their own continuing education requirements for nurses.
CEUs can only be awarded by providers whose programs are approved by an accrediting board. You can get started here. If you already have an Incredible Health account, you can log in here.
