How many CEU's/ contact hours does a NJ Registered Nurse need ? |
I just got my NJ RN license and i know that there are requirements for continuing education credits for us, but the website is confusing. If you are a NJ nurse can you help answer the following? So i now know it is 30 ceu's per 2 years. But do you have to show them to the board every time you complete the 30 or only when you are audited? Contact the New Jersey Health Professions Bureau. In Indiana and Illinois, no CEUs are required but New Jersey may be different. Usually, the CEUs are required every two years. So if NJ requires 10 CEUs, you can do 5 each year. I hold a Health facility administrator license as well as Registered Nurse license. My HFA requires 40 CEUs to renew while RN currently does not require any CEUs. If you try to fudge your CEUs, you do run the risk of being audited and I don't know what the penalty or fine is, but it's probably not worth it. If you work at a hospital in NJ, perhaps their inservices can qualify as CEUs, check with the education department. If not, there are plenty of resources in nursing journals or if you receive Nursing Spectrum newsmagazine in your area, you may be able to pick up some cheap inservices that way. Hope this helps!!! In May 2006, the New Jersey Board of Nursing adopted regulations which will require ongoing continuing education for nurses to maintain their licensure status. The regulations apply to all RNs and LPNs; there are no additional requirements for APNs beyond those biennial 30 contact hours already mandated. The regulations require a minimum of 30 contact hours for each 2 year licensure renewal period, and that all contact hours be 鈥渁ccredited.鈥?Nurses whose licenses expired in May 2006 will need to meet the CE requirement by 2008. Nurses whose licenses expire in 2007 must meet the requirement by 2009. |
