OTHER WEBSITES OFFERING CONTINUING EDUCATION

Below are websites that provide continuing education directly in multiple different facilitation ways. Some trainings could be face to face, webinars, or independent studies. Also, be aware that some courses do have a cost associated with taking the course. Check with your employer to see if they have a continuing education reimbursement policy before paying out of pocket for training.

We have done our due diligence to seek out resources that have all the appropriate accreditations, but by no means is that a guarantee to you that every course provided on a site listed will be considered an approved course for you. Please be sure you are verifying the course you are taking has an accreditation attached for an RN/LPN or is approved for other medically licensed boards in Ohio (social work, medical, pharmacy etc.).
