New CEU Opportunity!
Dementia CEU Series for Nursing Professionals NCCDP in Partnership with AlzBetter
The Dementia CEU Series consists of 16 foundational courses on topics such as behavioral interventions, personalized care strategies, and managing complex cognitive conditions. While primarily aimed at nursing professionals, these courses are also relevant for direct care workers and professionals in long-term care.
Pricing options include individual courses and bundles for NCCDP members and non-members, with certificates available upon completion.
NCCDP members qualify for significant discounts on the program!
These courses have been accredited for continuing education content by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commision on Accreditation, providing a total of 8 CEUs.
“I have taken many CE courses over my nursing career. Most of the courses help check a box, but I often find them boring and not adding much to my education. I found the NCCDP/AlzBetter nursing courses were actually very informative and interesting. They are definitely helping enhance my dementia education as a nurse.”
