I attended a conference related to my certification specialty, 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 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.
