Application for approval as a continuing education provider
This Continuing Education Application is for organizations and institutions that frequently produce continuing education conferences and offerings. Accreditation as a Provider allows your organization to design and conduct educational sessions without submitting individual applications for review each time you plan a session.

The Approval period is three years at a cost of $1,650 and the application process is more in depth than for individual courses.

Note: This list may be useful in determining if a program you attended (or are considering) was accredited, and if so, how you might contact the organization. If you attended any CE Event provided by these facilities after their date of approval, it is likely that the program was accredited by NHNA and ANCC.

NOTE: CHANGES TO CONTACT HOUR CALCULATION EFFECTIVE 1/1/2007
The definition of contact hour has changed from a unit of measurement that describes 50 minutes of an organized learning activity that is either didactic or clinical experience to a unit of measurement that describes 60 minutes of an organized learning activity that is either a didactic or clinical experience. 60 Minutes Contact Hour Implementation Plan will guide you in implementing this change.

Example:
Q: "My organization offered a program in 2006 using the 50 minute contact hour. If I offer the program again in 2007, must I recreate the file with a 60 minute contact hour?"
A: No. You can continue to use the file with the 50-minute contact hour until it expires at the two-year mark. Any new activities produced after January 1, 2007 must indicate that one contact hour is 60 minutes.
