How to Earn CEUs on Wild Iris Medical Education

Updated

Wild Iris Medical Education (wildirismedicaleducation.com) awards continuing education units through a three-step online process: read the course, pass the test, then pay and receive an instant certificate. This applies to nursing and other healthcare professions, and the site states it has been an ANCC-accredited provider offering CEU courses since 1998. If you need state-mandated courses or a bundle for renewal, the same read-test-pay sequence applies; the difference is which course you select.

The three-step process

The site lays out the flow directly on its homepage:

  1. Read Course — Work through the course material online. Some courses are offered with audio, so you can listen as well as read.
  2. Pass Test — Complete the course test. (The site does not publish a passing score on the homepage, so confirm the requirement on the individual course page before you start.)
  3. Pay & Get Instant Certificate — After passing, pay and receive your certificate of completion immediately online.

The key expectation to set: the certificate is issued online and instantly after payment, not mailed or processed later.

Choosing the right course first

Because the process is the same for everyone, the real decision is which course to take. The homepage organizes entry points by profession and need:

  • By profession: Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, EMT/Paramedic
  • By requirement: "I need STATE-MANDATED courses"

Examples of specific courses listed include:

Course Detail from the site
30 ANCC Hours Nursing CEU Package Bundle for renewal; described as discounted versus buying individual courses; immediate access; instant online certificates
Recognizing Impairment in the Workplace Newly updated; covers risk factors, prevention, barriers to early identification, reporting, and interventions
Child Abuse Recognition and Reporting in Pennsylvania – Act 31 (2 Hours) 2-contact-hour course for license renewal for mandated reporters; approved by the PA Department of Human Services, with 24-hour electronic reporting to the PA Department of State
Clinical Care for the Heart Failure Patient 5-contact-hour course; includes AHA guidelines
Novel Coronaviruses, including COVID-19 1 ANCC contact hour; offered as a free course for new nurse customers

If your goal is renewal, the bundle is the option the site positions for that purpose. If your goal is a specific state requirement, start from the state-mandated entry rather than browsing by profession.

Free CEUs and discounts

Two cost-related points appear on the homepage:

  • Free course for new nurse customers: A free nursing CEU course (Novel Coronaviruses, including COVID-19, 1 ANCC contact hour) is available when you sign up.
  • Promotions: The site lists a limited-time offer of $10 off Breast Cancer, and a "Latest Deals and Discounts" section.

Pricing for individual courses and the bundle is not shown in the homepage content provided, so check the course or bundle page for the current price before enrolling. The presence of a free course for new nurse customers does not mean other courses are free.

What to verify before you start

  • Accreditation and approval for your situation: The site states it is ANCC-accredited and "Accredited and Approved Nationwide." If you need a course for a specific state license, confirm the course page names the relevant approval (the PA Act 31 course, for example, names its approving body).
  • Contact hours: Each course lists its contact hours (1, 2, 5, 30, etc.). Match these to what your renewal requires.
  • Test requirements: Passing criteria are not stated on the homepage; check the individual course.
  • Access after enrollment: The bundle is described as giving immediate access; confirm access duration on the course page if you plan to spread the work over time.

A practical sequence

  1. Identify whether you need a general CEU, a state-mandated course, or a renewal bundle.
  2. Open that course page and confirm contact hours, approval, price, and test requirements.
  3. Read the course (use audio if available).
  4. Pass the test.
  5. Pay and download your instant certificate.

The main friction points are choosing a course that does not match your state's requirement and assuming the free course applies beyond new nurse customers. Both are resolved by reading the specific course page before enrolling.
