What is Podcasting?
Podcasting makes an audio file, typically an MP3 or MP4 file, available online for downloading via an automatic "feed." You can then hear the podcast whenever you want from your own computer or a portable media player at your own convenience.
What equipment do I need to hear podcasts?
You can listen to podcast audio from your own computer (provided your computer has a sound card and can play MP3 audio files). If you want to make your podcasts portable, you will need to transfer them from your computer to a portable media device. If you want to subscribe to a podcast (so that you can automatically receive new podcasts when they are posted) you will need podcast subscription software. To manage your podcast subscriptions, your options include the latest free version of Apple's iTunes (which has the software built in), or other free services such as Odeo or iPodder.
Can I get CNE Credit for listening to an ONS podcast?
Yes! CNE credit is available for many of the podcast shows. Participants who listen to an entire CNE podcast and complete the post-test and evaluation may earn contact hours. ONS is accredited as a provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation.
Some CNE podcasts provide listeners with two passwords that will be identified at random times throughout the program. You are required to provide these passwords to access the evaluation to gain CNE credit. To access the post-test and evaluation after listening to the podcast, visit the CNE credit link located in the podcast description. You must achieve a 100% on the post-test to receive the CNE certificate.
If the CNE podcast does not contain passwords, visit the ONS Evaluation Center to locate the podcast post-test and evaluation.
ONS is accredited as a provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation.
