CEU Escape Resources for Nurses
Welcome to the CEU Escape Blog — your trusted resource for nurse-specific continuing education, leadership development, and restorative learning. Here you’ll find clear answers to the most common questions nurses ask about CE requirements, professional growth, and how to make continuing education feel energizing instead of routine.
How Many CE Hours Do Nurses Need in California?
Registered Nurses (RNs) in California must complete 30 hours of continuing education (CE) every two years to renew their license. These hours must come from a provider approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN). CEU Escape — Accredited Nursing Continuing Education Provider BRN CEP #18153 — offers both online courses and immersive retreats that fulfill these requirements while supporting your personal and professional renewal.
What Are the Benefits of Nurse Leadership Retreats?
Our accredited retreats combine CEUs with immersive, reflective experiences in supportive environments. Benefits include:
Renewed clarity and purpose
Practical leadership skills and emotional intelligence
Peer connection with like-minded nurse professionals
Recovery from burnout in calming, natural settings
Each retreat is designed to support both career advancement and personal transformation.
Can CEU Escape Courses Count Toward My License Renewal?
Yes. All CEU Escape programs — online courses and retreats — are accredited and fulfill state licensure requirements, including for nurses in California, Texas, Florida, and more. Always verify your state’s current CEU requirements before registering.
