Nursing Contact Hours

IMERT News - 1/8/2007

As of 2003, American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Certification will accept CME credit for 50% of an RN's certification requirements.  ANCC does not recognize a conversion but considers 1 CME hour to be 1 nursing contact hour.

This information can also be found on the American Nurse Credentialing Center’s site:

http://www.nursecredentialing.org/ancc/cert/recert/cats/pdrecertcat1.html

Or it can be found in the frequently asked questions section:

http://www.nursecredentialing.org/cert/FAQ.html’

We felt it important to share this information as CME is available for the INVENT & IMERT Conference, IMERT Domestic Preparedness courses, and IMERT Boot Camps.
