title: Evaluation of a new method to verify CE completion.
abstract: Methods of verifying completion of continuing education activities have changed recently as a result of adjustments in the criteria established by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation. Evaluation of the new method of verifying completion of CE articles in Urologic Nursing in 2003 yielded findings that demonstrated that individuals who sent CE answer/evaluation forms for CE articles were thoughtful and insightful in their responses. The responders reported that they learned new information and planned to apply the new knowledge to their practice.
