WNA Continuing Education Approver

Continuing Education Approval

Accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation, WNA has maintained its status as an accredited approver of nursing continuing professional development since 1978.  We are proud of this tradition.  The statement you will find on our web page and CE documents is the following: Wisconsin Nurses Association is accredited as an approver of nursing continuing professional development by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.

An official approval statement from an ANCC-accredited approver is a hallmark of the rigorous process undergone to receive approval as well as the quality of the nursing continuing professional development education activity.  To find more information about applying for Individual Activity approval and/or Approved Provider status, see below.
