CE Approval

Are you looking to offer CE credit for a program or event you’re hosting? The American Association of Neuroscience Nurses is an accredited approver of continuing nursing education hours through the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation. AANN approves individual educational activities for contact hours but does not approve organizations as providers of continuing nursing education. Retroactive approval is not available.

Attention Applicants: The application for approval of an activity that is larger than 3 hours only needs to include documentation for 3 hours. However, documentation for the complete activity must be kept on file and must be accessible. If AANN requests information for the full activity, the applicant must be able to provide it. For example, if you are applying for a program that is 10 hours, you only need to submit documentation for 3 of those 10 hours.

Follow the steps below to submit your event for approval:
