: : : : 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.
: I think you're luckier than some, our education fund or reimbursement was cut out years ago. Interesting, and we work for the same institution.
Not everyone is getting money. It depends if there is value to the organization.
