The American Nurses Credentialing Center’s system for accreditation of continuing nursing education is a voluntary peer-reviewed accreditation process. An institution, organization, agency, or entity submits to an in-depth analysis of their continuing nursing education program to determine the capacity of the organization to provide quality continuing education activities for nurses.

Refresher Courses

The CNE-Net RN/PN Refresher Course is an independent study course designed to prepare the inactive registered nurse and practical nurse to re-enter the practice of nursing through a review and update of nursing knowledge and skills. This course is also for those who want to update their skills and knowledge to enter acute care settings.

LPN IV Therapy Course

The purpose of this course is to provide the licensed practical nurse with the necessary knowledge and technical skills to safely perform and manage intravenous (IV) therapy. This course consists of two components: Thirty (30) hours of theory and a minimum of four (4) hours of supervised clinical practice.

The thirty (30) hour theory component is divided into six modules of study. Each module contains reading assignments and study guide questions. The study guide must be completed before the clinical practicum. After completion of the study guide, a proctored test is administered. A passing score of 75% must be achieved. Students are given the opportunity to repeat the exam one time. Upon completion of theory and passing the exam, the student will proceed to a supervised clinical practicum.

The clinical practicum is a minimum of four (4) hours under the supervision of a registered nurse preceptor at a facility which utilizes IV therapy in its scope of services. The course participant must complete a minimum of three (3) successful venipunctures and IV therapy management experiences under the supervision of the preceptor to pass the clinical component of the course.
