Lessons Learned

Season 2, Ep. 1.1

Original Presentation Date: 26 September 2023 and edited



In this education event, we will review lessons learned from the 2023 audit of the new CCP via the CCP Portal.


This is an important event that we recommend all RNs and NPs review. We will explore common missteps from last year and instances where RNs and NPs failed to correctly capture learning hours, impact statements, and summative evaluations.

This education event will also offer tips for success to allow RNs & NPs to log into “My Learning” in Alinity and make any necessary changes to their current learning to meet CCP requirements for licensure renewal.
