I attended a conference related to my certification specialty/area of nursing practice, but it offered medical education credits. Does the conference count toward my nursing certification renewal?
Yes, you can count this conference. If you refer back to the section in the guide called General Guidelines for Recording Continuous Learning Activities, you will see that the conference counts because it relates to the specialty/area of nursing practice in which you are certified. Calculate the number of hours you attended the conference (excluding breaks) – this is the number of CL hours you can claim. Remember to keep some formal documentation to prove your attendance at this conference in case you are audited. Q: I have the chance to attend a nursing specialty/area of nursing practice conference in Boston. Do I need pre-approval from CNA to count my attendance at this conference toward my certification renewal? A: No, pre-approval of CL activities is not required. As long as your activity meets the guidelines, it counts. If you are ever unsure whether to count an activity, even after consulting the CL information provided, feel free to contact the CNA Certification Program. Interna
