Class attendance policy: This nursing continuing professional development activity was approved by Oregon Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation. Approval valid through 10/20/2027 OCEAN ID #2025-31. Completion of an evaluation form is required for continuing education credit. Due to ANCC requirements, students must attend all modules. Because of the highly interactive nature of the course, we cannot excuse students except in the case of emergencies (illness, funerals for next of kin, etc.). In such cases, we will allow a student to make up no more than two modules within two weeks after the final class session. The status of Faith Community Nurse cannot be granted unless the RN student meets attendance requirements. Please do not register for the course if you’re unable to attend all sessions.
