WV Continuing Education Requirements for SANEs
Per the WV Sexual Assault Forensic Examination Commission, nurses must complete eight continuing education (CE) hours in the two-year cycle. The original certificate issued notes the issued and expiration dates. For CE hours to count for renewal, tehy must be obtained between the issued and expriation dates noted on the certificate. In addition, CE hours must directly relate to the age population for which the nurse is applying (adult/adolescent or pediatric/adolescent) and apply to the field of sexual assault/abuse forensic nursing.
Applicants seeking both adult/adolescent and pediatric/adolescent SANE practice approval must split CE hours between the two age groups. Hours being split between age groups may be any combination (i.e. 4 CE in adult/adolescent and 4 CE in pediatric/adolescent or 6 CE in Adult/Adolescent and 2 CE in Pedicatric/Adolescent).
To assist in tracking the CE activities, use the SANE Continuing Education Renewal Form attached. Submit copies of all CE certificates with your application.
