Tips for Finding Continuing Education Credits

Employer:
  • Where do you work? Your employer may have some resources available to you via your library or databases that are subscribed to. You can definitely obtain free CEUs if you have access to Nursing Reference Center Plus or DynaMed.
  • Do you know who your librarian is? I promise they will have ideas for you and may be your best route! If you are not sure who your librarian or library team is through your employer, please let us know where you are employed and we can try to figure it out for you!
