Recertification Denial
Recertification through continuing education will be denied for any of the
following reasons:
- Misrepresentation
- Failure to meet criteria for contact hours (75 hours for ONC, 100 hours for ONP-C/OCNS-C/ONC-A), or provide evidence of
contact hours in the event of an audit - Lack of current RN license
- Failure to apply by deadline
Recertification will be based solely on the submitted materials. Anyone who is denied recertification may appeal by written request to the Recertification Committee. The applicant also may apply for recertification by examination.
