Real reviews, real results
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.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI 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.
Verified reviewI 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.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
Verified reviewEnjoyed this course! It squarely met my license renewal requirement as a physician. It was well-written, and an altogether enjoyable read.
Verified reviewState requirements for North Carolina Advanced Practice Registered Nurses
1 hour in controlled substance prescribing (annually) covering abuse/misuse, chronic pain management, or non-opioid alternatives (APRNs with prescriptive authority)
North Carolina APRN Standard Renewal Requirements: North Carolina APRNs must renew their licenses every two years before the last day of their birth month, completing 50 contact hours of Board-approved CE. At least 20 of the required hours must be in the APRN’s specialty or population focus, and APRNs with prescriptive authority must include controlled substance prescribing education. Maintaining national certification may substitute for the CE requirement—see official details on the NC Board of Nursing APRN CE page .
---
First-time renewal: Newly licensed APRNs follow the same biennial renewal cycle and must document either qualifying CE or valid national certification with their first renewal. NC Board of Nursing APRN CE Requirements
---
Certification alternative: APRNs who maintain a current national certificate recognized by the Board satisfy all CE renewal obligations. NC Board of Nursing APRN CE Requirements
---
Other Certifications that nurses hold that needs to be renewed: Any national, specialty, or population-focused certifications must remain current and are required for continued practice or qualifying for renewal alternative. NC Board of Nursing APRN CE Requirements
