NCC believes the individual certified nurse is the best personto determine the specialty code for their CE, as they have thespecific content of the CE program.NeonatalIntensiveCare Nursing (RNC-NIC )NCC Maintenance RequirementsThe standard process for the NCC Professional Development CertificationMaintenance Program makes use of a Continuing Competency Assessment(CAA) and resulting individualized education plan: Complete the Continuing Competency Assessment (CCA) that reflects thecurrent knowledge competencies aligned with your certification specialtyat the beginning of each new certification maintenance cycle. Earn CE as specified by the education plan developed from your CCA.Your education plan outlines the CE needed to maintain your NCC certification.Only CE earned after you have taken your CCA can be used tomaintain your certification. It must address the requirements of youreducation plan. 2022 National Certification Corporation (NCC) All Rights Reserved.CERTIFIEDRNC-NIC There are twosets of CE codesin this book.The first set correspondsto Continuing CompetencyAssessments (CCAs) takenbefore April 1, 2020 and the2nd set corresponds to CCAstaken on or afterApril 1, 2020.Please look at the header oneach page to determine if thelisting corresponds to your CCA.
CERTIFIEDCONTINUING COMPETENCYASSESSMENT (CCA)RNC-NIC The CE requirements for your NCC maintenance will be outlined in your education plan!Your educational plan is derived from your Continuing Competency Assessment (CCA) and outlines for youthe CE needed in each of your core competency areas. Each core area has a code and that code is providedfor you as well. Take the CCA as soon as you can in the beginning of your maintenance cycle.The CCA may be taken early, up to 3 months prior to the start of your new maintenance cycle date.The start day for earning CE remains at the first day of the new maintenance cycle. YOU CAN ONLY USE CE EARNED AFTER YOU HAVE TAKEN YOUR CCA FOR MAINTENANCE.ANY CE EARNED BEFORE YOU TOOK THE CCA CANNOT BE USED (EVEN IF IT MEETS YOUR EDUCATION PLAN).YOUR CE AND NCC MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTSAll CE must be earned during your current maintenance cycle and after you have taken the CCA.All CE used for NCC maintenance is defined by the individuals Education Plan.All CE must be submitted online at NCCwebsite.org.All CE must be coded to the applicable core content area. See listing in this brochure.CE can be entered into the maintenance application any time after the assessment has been taken and on anongoing basis. All activities will be saved until the application is submitted.All CE must be accredited by an agency recognized by NCC.ACCREDITING AGENCIESAcademic credit is accepted as is CME credit. For continuing education credit to be accepted for the purposeof maintenance, the continuing education activity must be accredited by one of the agencies below. NCC State boards of nursing andState nursing associations Nursing, medical or health care organizations(this would include, for example, suchorganizations as: ANCC, ANN, AWHONN,NPWH, NANN, NANNP, ACOG, AMA, AAP, etc.) Colleges or universities For-profit or not-for-profit continuing educationorganizations provided that programssponsored by such organizations have beenaccredited for continuing education.Most of the for-profit organizations have achieved accreditation for their offering through a state board ofnursing or health care organization. Review accreditation details in the registration brochure you receivedwhen registering for the particular continuing education activity.THE NATIONAL CERTIFICATION CORPORATION2
COMMON CODING QUESTIONSI went to aconference withtopics that reflectmany differentcodes, how do Icode them?CERTIFIEDRNC-NIC You have two options:You can code to the content area that represents the majority of the contentpresented.ORYou can breakout content per code (You may combine different sessions of thesame content code.) and record total hours for each code, listing the sameconference for every content code entry.I could not list allOnce you meet or the CE requirements designated by your education planmy CE. I have many the application will automatically take you to the payment page. There is nomore hours but the need to enter more CE than is required.maintenanceapplication wouldnot let me list them.I was a preceptorfor new students,can I use this formaintenance andhow do I list it onthe application.How do I code it?10 hours of CE can be used for precepting students, in your same certificationspecialty area and role. (e.g. In order for a WHNP to use the credit they cannotpreceptor nurse midwives or residents – only WHNP students.) Orienting newstaff is NOT considered as preceptor hours. On the application select themore information link for the preceptorship code 24 and it will give youinformation on how to list the information. This is also applicable to anyof the “other” codes. You can only use these hours for baseline hours and nothours designated in the education plan assigned to a specific competency area.Baseline hours are listed as hours that are assigned to any competency area andappear at the bottom of your plan.I have multiplecertifications.Can I use the sameCE for both. Howcan I code it fortwo differentcertifications.If the CE is applicable to both areas and was earned in the appropriatetime frame for each certification, yes. But you still need to file a separatemaintenance application and fee for each certification. Each CE activity willbe coded to each application.Do I have to submita “MaintenancePre-approval”?Maintenance Pre-Approval is optional and not required. If you are unsureyour continuing education activities will meet your NCC maintenancerequirements, you can ask NCC to pre-approve your CE activities. There is anonrefundable fee for this service. Complete details are in the maintenancesection of NCCwebsite.org.THE NATIONAL CERTIFICATION CORPORATION3
HOW TO READ THE EDUCATION PLANCERTIFIEDRNC-NIC Competency areas where 7.5 specialty index is achieved, no CE is needed. Competency areas where 7.5 specialty index is not achieved, the hours of CE needed will be listed. Every plan has a minimum of 15 CE hours - these are called baseline hours. Even if a specialtyindex above 7.5 is achieved in every competency, there is still a CE commitment of 15 hours.Education plans that need 45 hours, do not have any baseline hours because those hours areassigned to the specific core competencies. Every plan is composed of a maximum of 50 and a minimum of 15 CE hours. Missed keywords are intended to show what specific topics had knowledge gaps within thatcompetency area. They are broad in scope and you are not required to cover all keywords or topicsfor your NCC certification maintenance Links to NCC CE modules are offered as a convenience. Use of NCC CE modules is optional –not required. NCC CE is provided as a way to provide affordable, easily accessible CE for thosewho may have limited CE options in their area or practice. Also CE earned for successfulcompletion of any NCC CE modules will automatically be entered and coded into your onlinemaintenance application 5 hours of credit is given for taking the assessment and may be applied to any CE need. The total number of hours needed will be listed in each specific core competency.THE NATIONAL CERTIFICATION CORPORATION4
