Why all the hype about PearlsReview?

In the previous few eNewsletters a good deal of space has been devoted to news of the pending addition of PearlsReview to CE Direct.  I am excited to share that the wait is now over. 

As of Feb 23rd there are now several CE Direct partners who are offering an additional 900+ contact hours of certification test prep courses to their nurses!  To see the new content for yourself, consider participating in one of the scheduled preview webinars listed below.  To learn more right away download an informational PDF.

Don't wait too long though, as the price for adding PearlsReview is scheduled to increase on March 20. Consider surprising your nurses on Certified Nurses Day (March 19) with the gift of PearlsReview!  The timing couldn't be better.
