Online healthcare CE leader Care2Learn has joined forces with the AALTCN to develop four exclusive eLearning certification programs for LTC nurses. The online certifications will be accessible through a user-friendly online learning platform
Tampa, FL (Vocus/PRWEB) Care2Learn, Inc., the leader in online healthcare CE and compliance training for long-term care professionals, recently joined a select group of qualified educators affiliated with the AALTCN Learning Community to provide continuing education opportunities for long-term caregivers.
