This application is for an activity that involves either participant
attendence (e.g. conference) or one designed for completion
by the learners, independently, at the learner's own pace (self-study).
Provider
Application 2008 (Word)
Provider Application 2008 (PDF)
Approval as a provider is recognition of a provider's capacity
to award contact hours for continuing education activities,
planned, implemented and evaluated by the provider. The provider
may offer an unlimited number of educational activities during
the period of approval. To apply as a provider, three educational
activities must have previously been approved.
Due to the large volume of applications received, MNA has established deadlines for submission. These deadlines are found on the front of the application. Retroactive approval of applications is not authorized by ANCC.
