School Nurse CEUs

RN/LPN Contact Hours Approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing

The Bureau of Education & Research is approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing to provide continuing education activities for school nursing. If Nursing credit is available, it will be indicated in the brochure text and on the web page for the program you wish to attend.

Continuing education credit/contact hours for school nurses may be earned in some states, but not all.

School Nurse CEUs Offered

1. The following states DO require continuing education units for RNs/LPNs to maintain their certification/licenses. Each of these states has told us they will accept BER's approval by the California Board of Registered Nursing as a Continuing Education Provider. (Provider #CEP 15144, for five (5) contact hours per day of attendance) at BER's In-Person, Live Online and Recorded Version programs.

* Illinois CPDU credits do not transfer/apply towards the CE credits required for APRN renewal in Illinois

**CEUs are only required in Indiana if a nurse allows their license to lapse.

NOTE: APRNs need to check with their certifying agency to determine if the seminar meets the additional CEU requirements for their specialty area.

2. Those states which DO NOT require continuing education units for RNs/LPNs to maintain their certification/licenses, but may require CEUs for APRNs, are as follows:

*NY only requires an infectious disease course every 4 years. BER school nurse events do not cover this in sufficient detail to fill this requirement.

NOTE: APRNs need to check with their certifying agency to determine if the seminar meets the additional CEU requirements for their specialty area.

3. Massachusetts Board of Registration
Massachusetts has its own requirements which we meet and therefore Massachusetts nurses attending our In-Person programs in Boston, MA; Hartford, CT; Providence, RI; or Manchester, NH are eligible to receive 6 Contact Hours per day of attendance per the requirements of the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing listed in 244 CMR 5.00.

At this time, we do not offer MA Nursing Contact Hours for our Live Online or Recorded Version programs.

School Nurse CEUs Not Offered

The following states DO require continuing education units for RNs/LPNs to maintain their certification/licenses, but DO NOT accept our approval by the California Board of Registered Nursing as a Continuing Education Provider. Therefore, participants attending our school nurse programs cannot receive CEUs/contact hours specific to nursing to apply toward maintaining their certification/license. Participants may still receive 5 general teaching continuing education units per day of attendance for these states with prior district approval.
