The NLN has been accredited as an authorized provider by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). 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.

Contact hours/CEUs will be awarded for pre-Summit workshops (extra fee applies), Keynote Address, President and CEO Address, Debra L. Spunt Lecture, the National Faculty Meeting, and concurrent/special sessions. Certificates (indicating contact hours/CEUs) will be awarded to participants who verify their attendance through badge scanning and complete an evaluation demonstrating learning outcomes have been met as defined by the conference objectives:

• Discuss the impact of a competency-based model of nursing education on outcomes for students, faculty, practice partners, patients, families, communities, and populations.
• Engage with nurse educators as leaders to dialogue about developing faculty expertise, creating a change management plan, and identifying expert resources to guide the implementation of competency-based education.
• Co-create a shared vision of competency-based education for the preparation of practice-ready nurses that shifts the educational focus from inputs (curriculum, learning objectives, content, syllabi) to outcomes (assessments, evaluations, and performance).

Attendance will be validated for each session through barcode scanning at each session door. Attendees are responsible for scanning their badge.

The evaluation form will be available for 30 days from the date of the notification email that the evaluation has opened. Participants must complete the survey evaluation within this 30-day period. No survey evaluations will be accepted after the 30-day window.
