Okay, I am a nurse and an attorney practicing in both fields. Nice, right? Yes, but it means I have to complete CE for my Ohio nursing license and CLE (continuing legal education) for my law licensure in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Of course, each state has varying amount of CLE to be completed for renewal. My RN renewal for Ohio was $65.00 this year. I received my Ohio law license renewal which is due September 1, 2005 and costs $300.00. Kentucky and Indiana are coming.
How do you feel about mandatory CE? What is your impression of licensure fees for professional licenses? Does CE equate to competency in nursing?
