Continuing Education in Nursing

Online Courses from the Penn State School of Nursing

Program Overview

For your convenience, all courses in this series will be offered every semester. You must complete a course and online evaluation within the semester you register.

All course materials, quizzes, evaluations, and program certificates will be available through this Web site.

Each of the courses offered here will:

  • provide contact hours that can be applied to the 30 hours required of Pennsylvania registered nurses for biennial license renewal (Act 58)
  • supply you with relevant and up-to-date information on topics of interest in your field
  • allow you to obtain necessary contact hours from the comfort and convenience of your home or office
  • save you commuting time and travel expense, compared to attendance at standard classroom programs
  • provide you with reasonably priced contact hours from a university renowned in the nursing field

Try it out—you will find this a convenient way to earn the contact hours you need.

Several new courses will be available starting in summer 2010. New courses will be added on a continual basis, so check back often.
