Nursing Continuing Professional Development

As an accredited provider of nursing continuing professional development by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation, NNCC can work with your organization to offer NCPD contact hours. In this case, your organization will be referred to as a “joint provider” of the educational activity.

Requirements

Requirements of joint providers to work with NNCC, the accredited provider, to provide NCPD contact hours:

Your organization must be an “eligible organization”. This means that your organization must:
- Comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
- Comply with ethical standards as identified in the ANA Code of Ethics for Nurses and ethical standards for business operations.
- Not be engaged in the following activities: producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients.
Approved materials associated with the educational activity must clearly indicate that NNCC is awarding contact hours and is responsible for adherence to the ANCC criteria.

Pre-activity Process

Pre-activity process (live and virtual) for joint providers to work with NNCC to provide NCPD contact hours:

First, identify a contact person from your organization to be identified as “project lead.” We will work with your project lead to be a champion for the event and collect necessary materials from your speakers.
Next, invite NNCC’s nurse planner to planning meetings.
Lastly, NNCC’s nurse planner will share with you the documents that you need to collect from your speakers.
