Can CME be used towards a CEU?

Generally, CME (continuing medical education) refers to credits geared towards physicians and others with a medical license, while CE (continuing education) or CEU (continuing education unit) are terms used for other health professions, including nursing.

NursingCE provides CE credits approved by the ANCC. Our CE is widely accepted by nurse licensing bodies.

Some APRNs can use CME as a part of their continuing education. We recommend reaching out to your certifying board if you are unsure of which types of credits they will accept.
