The Big Kahuna: How Many CEUs Do I Need?
Now, before you start hoarding coffee and hiding from all things medical jargon, the good news is: you only need 24 CEUs to keep your license shiny and active for the next renewal period. That's like, a Netflix binge-watching session compared to running a marathon, right?
Here's the not-so-secret breakdown:
- 16 hours of general, fantastic-for-your-nursing-knowledge CEUs.
- 2 hours specifically dedicated to conquering those pesky medical errors (because who wants to be on Dr. Nightmare's next episode?).
- 2 hours spent brushing up on the Florida laws and rules that govern your nursing practice (think of it as your superhero rulebook!).
- 2 hours learning how to identify human trafficking. You go, anti-trafficking crusader, you!
Bonus Round!
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.
- First-time renewers: Gotta squeeze in a one-time, 1-hour course on HIV/AIDS.
- Renewing every three times: Add another 2 hours on domestic violence to your plate. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
Remember: These are the minimum requirements. Feel free to go above and beyond, become a CEU master, and impress all your nurse friends!
Avoiding the CEU Abyss: Top Tips for Staying on Track
- Plan ahead, grasshopper! Don't wait until the last minute (unless you enjoy that adrenaline rush). Spread your CEUs out throughout the renewal period for maximum chill.
- Embrace the online world! Many CEU courses are available online, so you can learn in your PJs while avoiding traffic (or that hoard of hanger-filled closets).
- Find a CEU buddy! Studying with a friend is more fun (and can help keep you accountable...because who wants to be the slacker?).
Now, let's get down to business with some FAQs:
How to Find CEU Courses?
