Yes. All states requiring nursing CE accept courses from providers approved by and in good standing with other state's board of nursing; therefore, our courses are recognized and accepted nationwide!

CE course approval and accreditation are voluntary, independent reviews of educational programs to determine that the material provided is of uniform and sound quality. Being awarded approval or accreditation ensures that an institution has been evaluated and that it met set standards of quality determined by the accrediting organization granting the approval or accreditation.

The purpose is to provide a professional judgment as to the quality of the educational institution or program offered and to encourage continual improvement thereof.

Although completing a continuing education course or certificate program from a Board approved or accredited institution does not guarantee jobs or licensure for individuals, it may facilitate such achievement.

Board of Nursing approval or accreditation provides a forum in which educators and practitioners of nursing can exchange ideas on future needs of the profession and ways in which to best address these needs in professional education and training.

Board of Nursing approval or accreditation ensures public accountability of a program or an institution -- that it has the means and demonstrates the outcomes for its educational process that are consistent with its goals and objectives; in other words, that there is 'truth in advertising'.
