I need to recertify with the National Certification Corporation for my
Maternal Newborn RN specialty certification in the US.   I have been
emailing the organization to find out if CERPs from IBLCE are accepted and
they send me this message:

 

"From the NCC website:

 

Recognized sponsoring organizations for continuing education credit

 

Academic credit is accepted as is CME credit. For continuing education
credit to be accepted for the purpose of maintenance, the continuing
education activity must be accredited by one of the agencies below.

 

NCC

State boards of nursing

State nursing associations

Nursing, medical or health care organizations (this would include, for
example, such organizations as: AWHONN, NPWH, NANN, ACOG, AMA etc.) Colleges
or universities For profit or not-for-profit continuing education
organizations such as Contemporary Forums, Western Schools, Professional
Education Consultants, etc. provided that programs sponsored by such
organizations have been accredited for continuing education.

 

Most of the for-profit organizations have achieved accreditation for their
offering through a state board of nursing or health care organization.
Review accreditation details in the registration brochure you received when
registering for the particular continuing education activity."

 

They can't give me a clear answer whether IBLCE is an accredited healthcare
organization acceptable to NCC.  Has anyone else recertified through NCC and
had CERPs accepted or rejected?  I will also contact IBLCE as they suggested
but thought I could get an answer here first.
