Oakton Offers Continuing Education Credit for Nurses Through Illinois Licensing Board

(July 19, 2016) Nurses now have more choices in where they can get continuing education credits. Oakton Community College’s Continuing Education for Health Professionals (CEHP) is pleased to announce that it has been recently approved to offer continuing education credits through the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR).  These credits are for registered nurses (RN), advanced practice nurses (APN) and licensed practical nurses (LPN) who take courses through CEHP to keep their skills and knowledge of current practice up to date.

“The ability to sponsor continuing education credits through IDFPR will allow Oakton to broaden our reach to nurses and further our mission to provide educational resources for health professionals in our community,” said Colette Hands, Ed.D, associate vice president for continuing education, training and workforce develop-ment.
