What Our Clients Say
"I have taken many CE courses over my nursing career. Most of the courses help check a box, but I often find them boring and not adding much to my education. I found the NCCDP/AlzBetter nursing courses were actually very informative and interesting. They are definitely helping enhance my dementia education as a nurse."
