Nursing Continuing Professional Development

Contact Hours

Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing (Sigma) is accredited as a provider of nursing continuing professional development by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.

To receive contact hours for the nursing continuing professional development (NCPD) sessions offered during the program, participants are required to attend the entire session, complete the overall NCPD event evaluation, and complete the evaluation for each individual session attended. Certificates for attendees, presenters, moderators, and NCPD can be retrieved after the online evaluation is complete.

The number of contact hours awarded to each participant will be based on the number of evaluations completed for each session attended. Please note that each session can only be claimed once for receiving contact hours.
