10+ Free CEU's for Respiratory Care Practitioners

My, my, how time does fly! It's been almost 12 months since I renewed my Arkansas RCP license. I went to http://www.aarc.org/ to make a quick check of my CEUs and found that I am short by 4 ceu's and my yearly requirement is 12. That's not good enough 'cause I usually try to get at least 20 CEUs. My aim is to learn more and refresh more than just what is required! Hope there are others out there that feel the same way.

Puritan Bennett offers free, accredited online continuing education courses at http://www.puritanbennett.com/educ/onlineed.aspx
