Medscape is accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Commission on Accreditation to provide continuing nursing education. ANCC credit is generally accepted for all nurses (RNs, LPNs, and advanced practice nurses like nurse practitioners). If taking CE activities for licensing requirements, it’s always best to check with your state board to ensure what type of credit they accept. Most state boards do accept ANCC credit, but it is up to the licensee to ensure that their board will accept Medscape’s activities as credit toward their licensure CE requirements.
