Individual CNE Activity

An individual CNE activity is an individual, organization or part of an organization, submitting an education activity for approval to provide continuing nursing education contact hours. Following review and approval it may be repeated as often as desired during the two-year period of approval.  Before starting the application please review the resources found at the end of this page.

Changes to Approved Program

If substantial changes are made to the program, it is considered a new program and the application process must be followed. Any previously approved provider directed, provider paced program converted to enduring material (e.g. a live course videoed and then posted electronically as enduring material) must undergo the review process as a new application. 

 

If during the approval period,  changes are made to an approved program (agenda, speakers, etc.), CT Nurses is required to be notified.

Retroactive Approval

Approval must be granted prior to presentation of individual educational activities. No approval or review will occur after an educational activity has taken place.

​

The exception to this rule is in the case of pilot studies. Participants in a pilot study assist in determining the length of time required for completing an educational activity to calculate the number of contact hours. Those participants may be awarded contact hours once the number is determined. 

Due Dates

Applications will not be considered submitted until BOTH the completed application and payment have been received.

​

Programs are due 30 business days (Monday - Friday do not include weekends or holidays) prior to the activity date.


Expedited fees apply for programs received after the 30 business days period.

Approval Fee

Payment is based on the length of program and when program application is submitted. Additional expedited fees are applied to programs submitted less than 29 business days prior to the event date.

 

Application fee includes:

    1. Application review

    2. Feedback on areas that require revision(s) to meet ANCC requirements

    3. One re-submission

 

Fees subject to change. No refunds will be given after application has been submitted and processed. Submission of an application and fee does not guarantee approval.

​

 

 CALCULATE TOTAL CREDITS

​

One Contact Hour = 60 minutes of content.

​

If simultaneous sessions or break out sessions are offered, each session is counted and reviewed individually. The cost is based on the total hours of reviewed content. For example, if participants will receive two hours of continuing nursing education credits, by way of a 1 hour keynote presentation followed by a choice to attend one of three, one hour breakout sessions, the total number of reviewed contact, the Keynote + breakout 1 + breakout 2+ breakout 3 are counted for a total of 4 hours of content to be reviewed. 

If your program date is in 30 business days (Monday - Friday do not include weekends or holidays) or more:

​

    • $75 per content hour for programs 1 – 5 contact hours (note each .5 contact hour over the first hour is $37.50)

    • $65 per content hours for programs with 5.5-10 contact hours (note each .5 contact hour over 5 hours is $32.50)

    • $60 per content hours for programs 10.5 and above contact hours (note each .5 contact hour over 10 hours is $30.00)

 

Example: For a 2.5 content contact hour program the fee would be:

                  $75 + $75 + $37.50 = $187.50 total.

​

 EXPEDITED FEES        

​

Program scheduled in the next 29 days or less:

​

 
    • 29-15 business days add an additional $250

    • 14-7 business days, add an additional $500

 

Paying the additional expedited fee does not guarantee approval by the requested date.

 

Additional submission: $60 additional review fee.
