In obtaining this approval, the NLN has demonstrated that it complies with the ANSI (American National Standards Institute)/IACET Standard, which is recognized internationally as a standard of good practice. As a result of its Authorized Provider accreditation status, the NLN is authorized to offer IACET CEUs for its programs that qualify under the ANSI/IACET Standard. 

Some states require that CE providers apply for additional approval from their professional regulatory board and post the following information about their provider number. States in which the NLN has applied are listed below. Please note the NLN has not applied in all states, and it is the participant’s responsibility to check with their state regulatory board to confirm how an NLN-approved program will be accepted.
