Individual Educational Activity
Approval of an educational activity ensures participants that the activity/program meets professional standards for continuing nursing education.
Prior to planning, implementing, and evaluating a learning activity or if you are deciding whether to pursue Approved Provider status, you can contact the SCNA Continuing Education Approver Committee (CEAC) to help you. Complete the application,
make the review fee payment, and then satisfy any criteria the reviewers cite during the review process. Your activity will be approved for two years and can be delivered as often as you like to as many learners as possible as long as the program
content and faculty do not change.
