Continuing Education Credit For Nurse
Q: What exactly are CPE Credits? I don't
think they are the same as college credit. The closest

this seminar is 8 hours long, I get 8 CPE credits?
If this is true, what do I use these credits for? Do they
just sit there and look neat on a certificate? I have a
wall full of certificates that all have a different amount
of CPE credits on them.... 42 on one, 30 on another, I have
one from the SANS institute that has 42 and it says that 6
credits are awarded for each full day... great so I got 6
credits per day for 42 credits... yippee, what good are
these credits?
