Purpose:<br />
The <strong>Maryland</strong> <strong>Nurses</strong> <strong>Association</strong> (MNA) Continuing Education Provider Unit consists of a Lead<br />
Nurse Planner appointed by the Board of Directors (BOD) and District Nurse Planners representing<br />
each of the <strong>Association</strong>’s eight (8) districts. The Provider Unit functions to:<br />
1. Establish a communication mechanism that facilitates collaboration with the MNA’s Practice<br />
and Education Committee to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate continuing educational<br />
programs.<br />
2. Collaborate with District Nurse Planners to support continuing educational programs that<br />
are compliant with the criteria established by the American <strong>Nurses</strong> Credentialing Center’s<br />
Commission on Accreditation (ANCC COA).<br />
MNA is accredited as a provider of continuing nursing education by the American <strong>Nurses</strong><br />
Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation. This signifies that educational activities<br />
that award contact hours offered through MNA meet national standards for quality continuing<br />
nursing education.<br />
During the past year, the Provider Unit Lead Nurse Planner has worked with District Nurse planners<br />
to provide a total of five (5) continuing nursing educational activities to <strong>Maryland</strong> nurses.<br />
