Frequently Asked Questions
1. What do you mean by free nursing CEUs?
Nursing CEU, nursing CE, nursing CNE, and nursing continuing education all mean the same thing. Most states require all nursing professionals (RN, LPN, LVN, APRN) to complete a certain amount of continuing education during the license renewal cycle in order to be eligible to renew their nursing license with their state’s board of nursing. Some states have also mandated that licensed professionals complete courses on specific topics.
Each nursing CEU course is awarded a specific number of contact hours. Wild Iris Medical Education offers over 80 different courses, including two free nursing CEUs. Our free nursing CEUs have 1 contact hour per course.
2. Who can take these free continuing education courses?
Wild Iris Medical Education offers two free CE courses for nurses in all U.S. States.
3. Why do nurses need CEUs?
Most states require that nurses (RN, LPN, APRN) take a certain number of continuing education courses during their license renewal cycle. CEUs should be evidence-based and provide the nurses with the latest medical information on a variety of topics (e.g., pain management, wound care, cultural competency) to provide best patient care and ensure best outcomes.
4. What does “ANCC” stand for?
ANCC is the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Wild Iris Medical Education has been approved as a provider for continuing nursing education. As an ANCC approved provider, Wild Iris’s nursing CEU courses are all accepted by all U.S. boards of nursing.
