Can I get credit for the classes I take?
NurseCredentialing.org (ANCC) states:
Fulfillment of this category requires completion of 75 contact hours subject to the conditions below:
Officially approved nursing continuing education credits (e.g., seminars, workshops, conferences,and presentations that award CEUs).
Nursing continuing education that is not officially approved may be used as long as the content is applicable to your area of certification (e.g., in-services,workshops,study modules,grand rounds offered by your place of employment).
Independent study that is approved for continuing education may be used for 100% of the contact hours required (e.g.,home study programs,articles from journals,CME articles,other health discipline independent study modules).
Other health disciplines' continuing education hours may be used if the content is applicable to your area of certification (e.g.,CME credits, social work,counselors, physical therapists).
