If you are an Ohio Independent Provider, having your
independence does not mean you are alone. There are
over one thousand nurses in Ohio managing their
nursing careers themselves. This website is designed
to bring as many Ohio Independent Nurse Providers
together as possible, to not only form an alliance;
but to keep abreast with ever changing Laws and
Rules which affect our businesses. We also aim to
make our availability known to consumers enrolled in
the Ohio Home Care Waiver Program.
Our consulting services help Independent provider
nurses provide care to acute and chronically ill
medically fragile children and adults who are
enrolled in the Ohio Home Care Waiver Program. We
are dedicated to serve, help, and enhance the quality
of life, and the well-being of Ohio Home Care
consumers by delivering high quality, compassionate
home care nursing. We help families restore balance
to their lives, and help their loved ones remain at
home. Delivering consumer driven services that
nurture the whole person - body, mind, and spirit is
what we are all about. If you feel this website has
been a good resource and has helped you, please

keeping it up and going. See the donation button

CE Requirements for RNs and LPNs:
Each person licensed as an RN in Ohio must complete
twenty-four (24) contact hours of approved CE to
renew their license. A nurse who has been licensed by
endorsement for less than or equal to one (1) year must
complete twelve (12) contact hours. At least one (1) of
the required contact hours must be Category A (Laws
& Rules). The contact hours must be completed within
two (2) years prior to renewal. All licensee and
certificate holders are required to complete at least one
contact hour related to Chapters 4723,1-23 of the Ohio
nurse practice code and rules. RNs renew their license
in the "Odd" years, and LPNs renew in the "Even"
years; which means 2012 is the renewal year for
LPNs. See the list of approved CE Courses here
developed for nurses. Will you be prepared should the
Ohio Board of Nursing audit your records for your
renewal period? Click here to find out which course
best fits your schedule.
