Note that the fee structure is based on the number of contact hours to be awarded. To calculate the number of contact hours, add the number of organized learning/teaching minutes and divide by 60.
For example, if the total number of organized learning/teaching minutes is 120, the number of contact hours to be awarded is 2.0 (120/60).
- Do not calculate time for meals, breaks, or exhibits.
Submission Timetable and Fee Schedule
Applications for educational activity approval must be received a minimum of eight (8) weeks, i.e., 56 days prior to the first date the educational activity is to be conducted. Applications received in less than the eight-week minimum timeframe will not be reviewed and the application fee will be returned to the applicant. The normal approval process is eight weeks. However, we offer an accelerated option, which is explained below.
Accelerated Program
PA Nurses is pleased to present an option for continuing nursing education activity approval. PA Nurses implemented an accelerated program that approves an application in four weeks (only activities consisting of 0.5 to 15.0 contact hours are eligible for the accelerated program) for double the standard fee (see fee structure below).
Retroactive approval is not authorized by the ANCC-COA and will not be granted by the Pennsylvania State Nurses Association (PA Nurses).
Fees submitted for CE review are not refundable unless the submission deadlines are not met.
Provider Application
An approved provider may offer an unlimited number of educational activities during the approval period. Provider applicants must meet the eligibility requirements and demonstrate knowledge of the criteria found in the PA Nurses Continuing Education Approval Program Manual.
