So , this was my first year Renewing my license with the need of the 24 hour CE's I did it through Western Schools and got my certificate in my email..... now was I suppose to send the Certificate to the state board? it didnt say I had to . please let me know , thanks! im in ohio!

yes this is kind of late asking as this is all suppose to be done by August 1st lol
Unless your state BON specifies otherwise, you don't need to send the CEU certificate. However, be sure to hold onto that certificate for at least 4-7 years in case they decide to audit you.

I'm an Ohioan too... just like Meriwhen said, you just need to make sure you hold on to that CEU certificate for I think 7 years... CEU's are basically an honor system until you get audited, which I think they can go back 6 or 7 years, and you better have all your CEU certificates for them! Did you remember your law CEU too??

I'm licensed in OH and FL. This is the year for FL renewal. Ohio's is next year, isn't it?

No, Ohio's renewal was this year. I think you had to be renewed by July 31.

Quote from WSU_Ally_RNNo, Ohio's renewal was this year. I think you had to be renewed by July 31.

I'm in Indiana and while I think CE should be required for nurses, and I will absolutely be doing CE regularly for myself, having to deal with keeping records and deal with all of that makes me glad CE is not required here. Again, I think it should be but I don't mind not having to deal with paperwork.

I would just print out your certificate and save it. I keep mine paperclipped together by year just in case. My work offers a lot of educational meetings and we get CEUs at the end, usually, so getting CEUs isn't terribly difficult.
