I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.

I appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.

I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.

Live / “In-Person” Hour Minimum: The rules don’t mandate a “live” minimum, but no more than 15 hours may come from self-study/teaching/volunteer/board-service activities listed in R4-11-1209(A)(4). ⇒ Practically, at least 30 hours must be interactive courses (live, live webinar or similar).
