Nursing Conferences Interest and Contact Form

These trips are open to registered nurses and other healthcare professionals, plus students and hospital, agency, or unit teams traveling together as a group. Whether you’re coming solo, with a coworker, or coordinating a whole department, we can build the registration and travel package around your group.

Yes, each Blissful Travel Escapes CE trip is built around a program accredited through recognized nursing continuing education boards. The accrediting body and exact contact-hour count vary by destination and session, so ask us for the specific accreditation details and CEU certificate information for the departure you’re considering before you register.

Contact hours vary by program and destination. Your CEU certificate, issued after the trip, states the exact hours you earned. If you need to confirm hours before you register, for example to plan out a renewal cycle, contact us and we’ll pull the specific number for the departure you’re looking at.

In most cases, yes. Continuing education requirements are set individually by each state’s board of nursing, not by where you physically completed the coursework, so hours earned through an accredited program are generally accepted regardless of which state you took them in. Requirements do vary by state though, some states have no formal CE mandate, others require specific categories such as pharmacology or ethics hours, so it’s worth a quick check of your own board’s current renewal rules before you register.

No. A multistate license issued under the Nurse Licensure Compact lets you practice in other compact states without applying for a separate license in each one, but it doesn’t set or change your continuing education requirements. Those still come from your home state’s board of nursing, so if you’re unsure how many hours you need or whether they must fall into specific categories, check your board directly.

Program registration covers full access to live CE sessions, digital workshop materials, networking events, and your CEU certificate. Travel and accommodation are priced separately and vary by host brand and departure, for example, the Sandals Dunn’s River trip starts at $1,895 per person based on double occupancy. Contact us for the full cost breakdown, including exactly what’s covered in lodging, dining, and CE access, for any specific trip before you book.

No, flights are booked separately from your registration and lodging package. Tell us your departure city and we’ll help time your flights around the conference schedule or cruise embarkation window.

Most participants successfully secure full or partial reimbursement from their employer for CE travel. We provide a customizable “Request to Attend” letter template, along with an itemized invoice and certificate of completion, to support your internal approval process.

It depends on how you’re employed, and this isn’t tax advice, always confirm your specific situation with a tax professional. If you’re self-employed or a 1099 contractor, continuing-education travel is generally deductible as a business expense. If you’re a W-2 employee, federal law currently does not allow a deduction for unreimbursed work expenses, including CE travel, that rule started under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and was made permanent by the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act. This is exactly why pursuing employer reimbursement first, see the question above, matters most for W-2 employees.

You can absolutely attend solo. Trips are priced based on double occupancy by default, so traveling alone means either the applicable single supplement or being matched with another attendee to share a room. Contact us to talk through solo options for any specific departure.

Terms depend on the host brand for your specific trip, Sandals, Disney, and Royal Caribbean each set their own change and cancellation windows and fees, and those terms are confirmed at booking. Because deposits on select room types can be non-refundable, we recommend reviewing the exact terms for your departure with us before you book, and confirming them again in your booking paperwork.

We recommend it. Given that deposits on these trips can be non-refundable and travel dates are set months in advance, a policy that covers trip cancellation and interruption for medical reasons gives you a real safety net if plans change unexpectedly.

Accessibility varies by host brand and specific ship or resort. Sandals states it aims to accommodate guests with mobility disabilities, though accessibility differs by property. Both Disney Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean offer wheelchair-accessible staterooms as a standard part of their fleets. Contact us before booking and we’ll confirm accessible-room availability for your specific departure.
