If your organization plans many educational activities and wishes to forego the individual activity approval process each time you plan and implement an activity, you may want to consider applying to be an Approved Provider Unit. Once you are approved to function as an Approved Provider, you can deliver as many activities as you like to as many learners as possible for the three-year approval period following ANCC educational design requirements.
Eligibility To be eligible to apply for Approved Provider status, an organization must:
Note: If you are new to the process, you must first meet criteria by planning a minimum of 3 Individual Activities that adhere to ANCC criteria. The planning, implementation, and evaluation of these activities must occur within a 12 month period. We highly recommend you submit these for individual activity approval with VNA. Your provider unit must also be operational for 6 months prior to application. |
