The ARN Contact Hour Approval Program has been Discontinued
The ARN Contact Hour Approval Program (CEAU) program has become increasingly resource intensive over the past several years. The ARN Board reviewed the benefit of the program for the majority of ARN members, as well as forecasts for revenues and expenses, and relation to the ARN Strategic Plan. After thoughtful consideration, the conclusion was to discontinue the ARN Contact Hour Approval Program after December 1, 2009. Any programs that were approved prior to that date will be valid through the two-year expiration date provided upon approval.  For more information, click here.
