I am a LVT that is fully supportive to the increase in yearly continuing educational time. Personally, I believe it should be atleast 20 hrs. Advances in modern medicine and techniques make this an important subject and should not be taken lightly by either the educators or educatees. In human medicine, RN's in the state of Virginia need to complete 30hrs of continuing education, compared to our 6 hours. Our field does not have a high salary, but there are many opportunities to educate yourself for free both online and at scheduled free seminars. Once a person becomes licensed, it is too easy to not keep up with changes in medicine. Raise the standards of our profession!
