We have a providership through the Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation (the accrediting arm of the ANA). Every state will accept our self-study continuing education courses for the renewal of license for nurses. For complete provider information, go to www.Nurse.com/CE/Accreditation.html.

Nursing Spectrum's continuing education (CE) contact hours are generally accepted by most professional nursing organizations. Nursing Spectrum has made substantial efforts to obtain appropriate providerships for CE offerings. However, Nursing Spectrum does not warrant that all professional organizations or licensing authorities will accept its CE contact hours. If in doubt, nurses are advised to contact their professional organizations or licensing authorities to confirm their acceptance of these contact hours.

Yes, you can take continuing education courses on our website regardless of the status of your licensure.  To complete the test, you cannot leave the license number field blank, but we are not verifying your licensure information so any data will do.  If you are a licensed professional in another field, enter that information.  If you have not yet received your license, you could enter “pending” or “student.”  Make sure to pick values from the drop down menus for the license type and license state as well. 

For all participants: Please check and make sure that you will be able to use our courses to meet whatever requirements you might be trying fulfill before taking our courses. 

It may be that you are choosing a username that includes unacceptable characters.  Accepted characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, - (dash), and _ (underscore).  You cannot use symbols (like @#$.) or spaces.

When you complete a Nursing Spectrum CE course, you get a certificate showing how many contact hours you have earned after completing a test. A 'certification' is different. It generally comes either after attending a seminar teaching hands-on skills or after fulfilling the requirements set out by a national organization that offers certification in certain specialty areas.

Nursing Spectrum continuing education does offer options to allow employers to offer unlimited access to our online courses for their employees. For information, please call our CE Direct toll-free number: (877) 226-5953.

Actually, there is a senior nursing student program set up in select areas. Students may sign up at the beginning of the Fall school semester with their instructor if interested in receiving a copy. The magazines are then delivered to the school and distributed to the senior students that signed up. Magazines are only shipped during the school year from September through April. If interested, please check with your nursing instructor or Dean of Nursing at your school. Once a student becomes licensed as an RN, then the magazine can be ordered and shipped directly to their home.

At this time, no. Although LPNs are a vital aspect of the nursing community as well as CNAs a large part of healthcare, our magazine can only be mailed to actively licensed RNs. Since our magazine is sponsored by recruitment advertisers looking to hire RNs, we are limited by the number of copies as well as regions covered that we can distribute to.

If you are a licensed RN living in one of our qualified areas to receive a FREE subscription, for fastest service, you may fax your written request along with your signature to (847) 490-0469. You may also call us toll free at (800) 770-0866 and request a subscription to be started or fill out the application online on our website www.Nurse.com/Subscriptions. When applying over the phone or online, you will also receive a verification letter asking for your signature to complete the request.

There may be a couple of answers to why you are no longer receiving the magazine. Have you moved recently? Possibly there is no longer a postal forwarding for your address change. Also, you may have moved to an area not designated as one of the free distribution areas. Do you recall signing a renewal card? If not, your subscription may have lapsed. If these do not apply, please contact our Customer Service department toll free at (800) 770-0866 so that we may assist you further.

Change of address information may be submitted through our website www.Nurse.com/Subscriptions as well as in writing to our address at Gannett Healthcare Group, 2353 Hassell Rd Suite 110, Hoffman Estates, IL 60169. You may also call our Customer Service department at (800) 770-0866.

We need your license number so that we can be certain that an RN is receiving Nursing Spectrum or NurseWeek magazine. Because we are a FREE publication, we want to be sure our magazine is only going to RNs for whom our content is designed for. Additionally, our magazines are sponsored by recruitment advertisers for RN positions and to ensure that the magazine stays free of charge to you, we verify that you are indeed an RN qualified to receive it. Lastly, having your license number helps us to avoid duplication of names in our mailing list. Your license number is used internally for verification purposes only and is never given out to a third party.

In order to verify your request for this publication for USPS requirements, we ask for a signature. The post office requires your signature so we can deliver this free publication on a regular basis. Therefore, a sign-up or renewal card mailer is sent out or a coupon is offered periodically inside the magazine pages for this purpose.

We have all of our rate information published online at www.HelpAtNursingSpectrum.com.

Unfortunately credit card orders placed online are not commissionable orders.
