Free CEU Courses for LPNs

At Nurse.com, we know how hard Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) work to deliver safe, effective care. Whether you're managing medication administration, supporting patients with chronic conditions, or assisting in post-operative recovery, staying clinically sharp is critical. That's why we offer free CEU (Continuing Education Unit) courses for LPNs — to help you grow your skills and meet licensure requirements at no cost. 

Why LPNs Need CEUs 

LPNs are required to complete a specific number of CEUs to maintain licensure in most states. The exact number and renewal cycle vary depending on your state board of nursing, but the goal is the same: ensure you remain current with clinical standards, safety protocols, and evolving best practices. 

Some common reasons LPNs seek CEUs include: 

• License renewal compliance 
• Facility or employer requirements, which often include mandatory CE hours to ensure quality and consistency of care across teams 
• Expanding clinical competencies, such as IV therapy, pharmacology updates, or patient education techniques 
• Preparing for role transitions, like becoming an RN, by strengthening foundational knowledge and boosting confidence in advanced clinical topics 
• Staying updated on evidence-based practices to ensure interventions align with the latest research, regulatory standards, and patient care protocols 

Whether you’re working in long-term care, acute care, home health, or outpatient settings, CEUs help you stay confident and capable in your practice. 

How CEUs Prepare LPNs for the Clinical Environment 

Continuing education is more than just checking a box — it’s a chance to sharpen your clinical thinking and deepen your expertise in areas that impact patient care every day. 

Our free CEU courses help you: 

• Strengthen core nursing skills in topics like medication administration, wound care, and infection control 
• Support a smooth transition into the clinical environment, especially for new or returning nurses, by reinforcing essential hands-on practices and safety protocols before stepping into patient care settings 
• Stay informed on emerging health trends and treatments, helping you deliver care that aligns with the most current guidelines and evidence-based practices 
• Improve patient safety outcomes through training on fall prevention, communication, and documentation — all of which are critical to reducing risk and enhancing quality of care 
• Stay knowledgeable across a wide range of topics, including pharmacology, cultural competency, pain management, and chronic disease care, to ensure you’re equipped for any patient scenario 
• Build leadership and advocacy skills to take initiative in your care team and act as a resource for peers and patients alike 
• Develop specialized knowledge, such as geriatric care or mental health support, to better serve unique patient populations and broaden your clinical reach
