New CE Requirement on Prescription Opioids
We know that there have been a lot of questions about the new 1-hour prescription opioid CE requirement for social workers. Though it is not yet posted on the Board of Social Work Examiners site, it is part of a state law (that's why you won't see it in the Regulations themselves) that was adopted by the BSWE. This will be required for you to complete each licensing cycle, so you have time!

Somerset/Hunterdon Unit members met at Buffalo Wild Wings in Flemington for a fun Mix & Mingle! Unit events are a great way to connect with fellow members and social workers.
