The Lowdown on LPN CEUs in PA
So, how many CEUs are we talking about here? Drumroll please... Just 2. That's right, folks, a measly two CEUs every two years. Now, before you start celebrating by doing the "floss" dance like nobody's watching (we all know you do it at home), there's a tinyyyy caveat.
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
- Child Abuse Recognition and Reporting: This one's a non-negotiable. You gotta take a 2-hour course on spotting and reporting child abuse. It's important, it's the law, and frankly, it's the right thing to do.
So, basically, it's 2 CEUs total, with 2 of them dedicated to child safety. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy, right?
Because We Know You Have Questions (Especially After That Jello Incident)
Alright, alright, we know what you're thinking. There's gotta be a catch, right? Nope, not really. But that doesn't mean there aren't a few lingering questions.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.
