Continuing Education?Rating: (votes: 0) Thanks guys. The place you are working for will provide those CE hours. The inservices conducted by your nurse educator will provide an hour or so every month of this training. Ask her/him for the copy and for most states, this will suffice. ACLS or PALS classes (the initial certification) can be submitted for CEs. There are a lot of free, most of the health sites of government offers free CEs. If you're a new RN, you have a year to do so and IMHO, you should only pay if you are running out of time to accomplish it and does not have any other free venues to explore. Comment:
Glad you asked this, I saw that website yesterday and was wondering the same thing. My company doesn't offer CE so I'll need to search for it myself.

I do know that my states board of nursing websites offer some free courses online so you could check that out too.

If you join a professional organization you will have access to free or discounted CE. Also, there are many vendors who offer CE. Baxter has some on kidney disease, Medline on various topics --- check out the websites of top names in medical equipment.

Most professional nursing journals also offer CE. You can do it at your own convenience and mail it in. Some also offer it online with a paid subscription to the journal. Also, I strongly recommend that you get connected with a professional organization, and at least your state nursing association. You get access to mentors, CE, and clinical updates, and the periodic conferences offer tons of good-quality CE.

I have nurse.com CE membership, (signed up on a discount) as well as PSNA membership that has free CE's in their quarterly magazine.I also joined a few sites that offer free CEUs like Medscape; I think the nurse.com has pretty good CE's; I also plan on joining a specialty org soon to get more free CEUs. Try to join PSNA and start on your CEUs from there, including the other posters suggestions as well; it will be up to you to decide on Nurse.com-I enjoy it and the various CEUs that are discounted and free are pretty relevant for what I want to know clinically and professionally.
