The CINAHL database provides access to free CE modules developed by CINAHL Information Systems. To access these modules, follow these steps:
Some individual nursing journals provide tests/quizzes that can be taken for CNE credit after reading designated articles.
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.
The Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) offers free online training courses for CNE credit.
Here’s a list of the classes eligible for CNE:
Assessing Health Education Materials: Clearing the Way to Easy-to-Read Health Materials
Making Sense of Numbers: Communicating Numerical Health Information
Prescription and Over the Counter Drugs: Supporting Patients with Evidence-Based Information
Classes are approved for CNE through the State of Illinois. Ohio accepts Illinois CNEs.
