The responsibility for continuing education that nurses are required tocomplete to maintain their licenses is shifting, and in many cases has shiftedcompletely, from the hospitals to the individual nurses. Without acentralized, convenient location for education, such as a hospital orassociated university, individuals are turning more and more to the Internetto fulfill their continuing education needs.
The changing nature of nursing is also drawing many nurses online. Forexample, telephone nursing practitioners, or others who need to be licensed inseveral different states, can keep up all of their state-specific nursingrequirements in one place.
