Is pain and symptom management CE required for nurses in Michigan?
Yes. Michigan nurses must complete 25 hours of continuing education in each 2-year renewal cycle. Out of which, at least 2 of those hours must be in pain and pain symptom management.
Does this course meet Michigan Board of Nursing CE requirements?
Yes, it counts toward the required 2 pain and symptom management hours for Michigan license renewal, and Michigan accepts CE from recognized providers such as ANCC. Remember, you’ll still need to complete the remaining hours required for your full 25-hour renewal cycle (plus any other applicable topic requirements).
How many contact hours does this pain management course provide?
It provides 2 contact hours.
Can I complete the Pain and Pain Symptom Management course online?
Yes. It’s designed for online completion, and you don’t have to finish in one sitting. You can easily complete it at your own pace.
Will I receive a certificate after completing this pain management course?
Yes. You will receive an instant certificate upon successfully completing the course and passing the exam. It will be emailed to you, and you can also download it directly from your dashboard.
Can this CE course count toward other state nurse license renewals?
Often, yes, but don’t assume. Many states accept accredited nursing continuing education, but some require state-specific topics or have different rules for APRNs/NPs. Your safest move: confirm your state’s renewal rules and whether they accept ANCC-accredited nursing CE.
How do I submit my CE certificate to the Michigan Board of Nursing?
In most cases, you do not submit CE certificates when you renew. Michigan does random audits, and if you’re selected, you’ll be asked to submit copies of your CE certificates.
