ATTENTION NURSES: NEW CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENT!

Pursuant to SB 439, beginning January 1, 2024 licensees who provide or supervise emergency medical services in a hospital or primary care will be required to take at least 2 hours of continuing education in the stigma, discrimination and unrecognized bias toward persons who have acquired or are at a high risk of acquiring human immunodeficiency virus to be completed within 2 years after beginning to provide or supervise the provision of such services or care

Changes to the Cultural Competency CEU Requirements as of January 2024

During the 82nd legislative session (February-June 2023), the legislature enacted AB 267 which changes the requirements relating to the training in cultural competency. As you know, in 2021, the legislature enacted a mandatory requirement of 2 continuing education hours (CEUs) in cultural competency. AB 267 NOW REQUIRES THAT NURSES COMPLETE 4 HOURS OF CULTURAL COMPETENCY INSTEAD OF 2 HOURS EACH RENEWAL CYCLE.
