Database aggregator EBSCO Publishing, US, has announced that its products Nursing Reference Center (NRC) and CINAHL Databases offer continuing education (CE) modules for nurses. EBSCO’s Cinahl Information Systems is accredited as a provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurse Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation. Nurses who use online resources from EBSCO, including those seeking specialty certification, can earn contact hours for relicensure from these resources. The CE modules from Cinahl Information Systems are found in the suite of CINAHL databases available on EBSCOhost such as CINAHL Plus with Full Text and in NRC.
The CE modules from Cinahl are seen to allow nurses using NRC, a nursing point-of-care resource, to earn contact hours — combining their continuing education with evidence-based clinical practice.
CINAHL and NRC continuing education modules are interactive, allowing nurses to satisfy CE requirements online. They contain the latest topics on patient care and drug administration. Each CE module consists of course material, an interactive review and a competency test with a certificate of successful completion.
The modules in EBSCOhost nursing and allied health resources are claimed to be rigorously reviewed by objective standards. NRC has a growing collection of CE modules, and it is expected that the more than 300 modules in NRC will double within the year. The CINAHL databases contain more than 100 continuing education modules.
Cinahl Information Systems is also approved as a provider by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training.
