ANCC Continuing Education Worksheet and Documentation
Information
Continuing education refers to those professional learning experiences designed to enrich the staff’s knowledge related quality health care and to promote the pursuit of professional career goals. Continuing education may be conducted in classroom, by distance learning or e-learning.
Provider (instructor) directed courses are any activity involving participant attendance (classroom training). It is distinguishable by the fact that the instructor who plans and schedules the activity determines the pace of the activity. These activities may occur in the classroom with the instructor or via distance method (e.g. ATT Web Meeting or WebEx.)
Learner directed education involves activity designed for completion by learners, independently at the learner’s own pace and at a time of the learner’s choice. An instructor designs the educational activity, and determines the amount of credit to be awarded.
A written test of knowledge retention is optional; you may validate that objectives were met by self-report (evaluation), written test or both.

MPT is able to take advantage of McKesson Health Solution’s ANCC certification as a provider of Continuing Education; The CE certificate notes McKesson Health Solutions as the provider. There is no cost to MPT for offering CE certified education.
State-specific idiosyncrasies in providing CE credit: Both Iowa and California Board of Registered Nurses (BRNs) say that if the provider actually enters their state boundaries to offer CE, then the provider must get approval from their BRNs (if the participants want to be able to use the contact hours toward re-licensure.) Web based training is considered to be “in-state” for the IA BRN, so you would need to get approval from them if you are concerned about the IA nurse being able to use your hours toward her re-licensure there. IA takes the point of view of the participant – so since the participant is inside IA, then they say the provider needs to get approved through them. CA takes the point of view of the provider –so since the provider is outside of CA, then there is no need to apply for approval (since you are already accredited through ANCC).
If you have questions or suggestions for improvements to this process, contact Carlene Anteau at or Michele Norton at .
