Online schools have a large number of courses to choose from, much larger than the other websites that are listed above. You can choose to take courses one at a time or pay approximately to take as many courses as you like.
Although many different types of courses are acceptable and able to count towards RN continuing education requirements, there are some types of courses that are not acceptable. Some of the types of courses that are not acceptable include courses that are meant for lay people, liberal arts courses, self improvement courses, and courses that involve teaching you about financial gain. Orientation programs are also not considered acceptable.
