What's the difference between contact hours and nursing CEUs?


October 3rd, 2022

One contact hour is equal to 50-60 minutes of actual clock time spent in a board-approved course or activity in the classroom with an instructor. One continuing education unit (ceu) or credit is equal to 10 contact hours; meaning it requires 10 clock hours to complete.

Hope this helps!
