The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) recently developed COVID-19 courses for students, new graduates, nurses returning to the workforce, and those who are interested in learning more about the COVID-19 pandemic. The courses are online, self-paced, free of charge, and three of them provide CE credit.
Course topics
