My Freece
The 2003 Nevada legislature passed Assembly Bill 250, which requires
that several types of health care professionals, including nurses, take
four hours of continuing education “relating to the medical consequences
of an act of terrorism that involves the use of a weapon of mass
destruction.” The bill's requirements are incorporated into the Nevada
Nurse Practice Act (NRS 632.343 (3).
Beginning January 1, 2005, all nurses renewing their licenses
must have completed this four-hour bioterrorism course as part of their
CE renewal requirement. On that date, the Board’s random CE audits
began to include auditing for proof that renewing nurses have completed
the bioterrorism course. Each renewal, you are asked to affirm
(swear) you have completed this one-time requirement. You are also
reminded that you will need to retain your bioterrorism CE certificate
indefinitely, in case of audit.
