Are the CE hours accepted in my state?
Yes—in almost every state! Only Connecticut, Maryland, and New York have unique CE rules, so if you live in one of these states, we recommend checking with your state board of nursing directly.

Can I apply these CE hours toward more than one certification or renewal?
In many cases, yes! Check with your state board or certifying body to confirm, but most allow CE hours to count toward both license renewal and specialty certifications.
Can I apply the CE hours toward the ANCC Cardiac-Vascular Nursing Certification (CV-BC™) exam requirements?
Absolutely! One of the requirements for the ANCC Cardiac-Vascular Nursing Certification (CV-BC™) exam is completing 30 CE hours related to cardiac nursing. Our Cardiac Certification Review Course gives you 23 high-quality CE credits, bringing you that much closer to your goal—so you can qualify faster!
How closely does this course follow the ANCC Cardiac-Vascular Nursing Certification (CV-BC™) exam blueprint?
Very closely! We’re deeply invested in the exam blueprint and built the course to match it. You’ll focus on the right topics, in the right depth—so you’re not wasting time on irrelevant material.
That said, the ANCC can technically ask anything related to nursing practice on this exam, so no review course can guarantee every question will be covered. But here’s the good news: students consistently tell us that our course covered most of what they saw on the exam, and many questions even felt familiar from our included practice tests.
Perfection isn’t the goal—passing is. We’re here to help you get there!
Is the Cardiac Certification Review Course affiliated with the ANCC?
Nope—we’re independent from the ANCC. But we’re nurses who’ve been through the stress of certification, and we built this course so you don’t have to struggle like we did. Our content aligns with the exam blueprint, and it works.
