Some individual nursing journals provide tests or quizzes that can be taken for CE credit after reading a specific research article.
PLEASE NOTE: not all CE content in individual journals is free, even if the library has a subscription to that journal. Most journals require users to send in payment for a fee after taking an individual test/quiz.
- Articles in journals that provide CE content are indexed in CINAHL and can be located by filtering search results to CEUs. Most of these CEs require nurses to read the article then take a quiz or test about the content of the article. The instructions for taking these CEs can be found within the full-text of each article.
