University of Tennessee College of Nursing
Nursing Continuing Education Consortium
Continuing education and professional development are integral to the College of Nursing mission and strategic goals. In a collaborative effort to address the continuing education needs of nurses in the community, the Nursing Continuing Education Consortium (NCEC) was convened in 1996. This diverse group includes nurse educators and leaders from across the region, representing more than 15 major hospitals, health care facilities, and other organizations. Maureen Nalle, PhD, RN, is the convener and coordinator of the NCEC.
As an approved provider of continuing nursing education, The College of Nursing meets the high standards established by the American Nurses Credentialing Center in awarding professional contact hours. The CON also works closely with the University of Tennessee Office of Personal and Professional Development to award continuing education units (CEUs) and ensure program quality.
The Nursing Continuing Education Consortium has been instrumental in the development, implementation, and evaluation of programs. Current offerings include: The Critical Care Course, Faith Community Nursing, Preceptor Workshop, and a Nurse Educator program. The Tennessee Leadership Institute for Nursing Excellence has also been offered in collaboration with the Tennessee Center for Nursing.
Membership in the Consortium is $1500 a year, which supports College of Nursing personnel and activities and facilitates the work of program planning.
