Check your state board for a detailed list or you can use this overview of state requirements.

Each state is different when it comes to CE reporting. You should check with your individual state board of nursing for instructions on how to report CE.

Will my state accept RN.com courses?

Accreditation
Do you offer courses for Case Management?

Yes. We are a PACE Provider for CCMC®; this means that the courses in the CCMC category have been pre-approved for Case Managers (CM).

 

Note: Non-CCMC approved courses may still be eligible, but the CM is responsible for validating with CCMC if the courses qualify for CE credit. The CM is also responsible for the fee for submitting a non-pre-approved course. Please note that any nurse may take these courses.

Is RN.com accredited?

Yes, RN.com is accredited as a provider of continuing nursing professional development by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (ANCC).  As an ANCC-accredited provider, nursing continuing professional development credits are accepted by all 50 state boards of nursing and U. S. territories.

What does it mean when it says “this course will expire” on a certain date?

Most RN.com courses expire after three (3) years; however, on occasion a course will expire before a three-year period. We recommend that you plan to complete the post test before the expiration date. If you pass the course before the expiration date, your certificate will still be valid after that date.

Is RN.com accredited by any State Boards of Nursing?

No, at present, only 47 of 50 states will accept nursing continuing education credits awarded by a CE provider approved by another state board of nursing.
RN.com is accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (ANCC).  Continuing professional development credits earned by an ANCC-accredited provider are accepted in all 50 state boards of nursing and U. S. territories.

What is the difference between continuing education credits and continuing professional development credits?

The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) has changed the term continuing nursing education (CNE) to nursing continuing professional development (NCPD). Instead of earning CNE, nurses will earn NCPD. Contact hours will continue to be the measure of credit earned. So, 1 hour of CNE is equal to 1 hour of NCPD.
