Johns Hopkins Contract tracing course:
this is free but you have to sign up – if you want the certificate it cost $45 – I do not believe it gives official CNE but it should still count towards RN license renewal.

Together with Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, experts from the Center for Health, Work & Environment at the Colorado School of Public Health have created the first-ever fully online COHN & COHN-S Certification Prep Course. In a time when in-person courses are canceled but COHNs are more needed than ever, we believe this online prep course is a credible and well-timed resource for your AAOHN chapter members.
