Command to offer Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) credits for completion of our
Immunization Basic Course (IBC). The credits are available after completing the
entire 8 hour course and course evaluation. Per the tri-service agreement from the
Council on Federal Nursing Service Continuing Education which became effective 1
September 2007, nurses of all three branches may now receive contact hour credits
when attending a presentation by another service.
We have also partnered with the Air Force, Army, and Navy to provide Continuing
