Where to Find Free CEU for Nurses

Don’t pay too much for your continuing education units. There are lots of places you can earn free CEU for nurses. 

What Are CEU Credits?

In order to maintain your RN certification, you have to fulfill the continuing education requirements set by your state. For example, in Kansas RNs have to complete 30 contact hours every 2 years to maintain their license.

Check your state’s requirements so you can be prepared.

One contact hour is equal to 50 or 60 minutes of instruction in a board-approved nursing class or activity. One CEU is equal to 10 contact hours.

So you can see how quickly this can add up. That’s why it’s so important to find free options if you can.
