: : Should the cost for mandated continuing education be who's responsibility the employer or the health care professional?
: It would be nice to have at least part of the CEU's covered by the employer, but it's not too often possible anymore. Maybe the employer could allot a certain amount of funds to each department for an "education fund" Perhaps it could be used to bring in a speaker, or something. It would have to shared equally by the employees though in order to be fair to everyone. For now, I know it's my responsibility to get my "points" regardless of who pays for them.
Marilyn, I take a different tack on this issue. I think it is totally my responsibility to get my ceu's. Now, I think it is wonderful that my employer helps to pay for this and I appreciate it. But, this isn't a right that I have to expect. It is a benefit that can be taken away at any time.
