Provider Committee
The MONA CE Provider Unit is responsible for coordinating all continuing education activities provided by the Association. The Association provides a variety of CNE activities, including educational sessions at the biennial convention, advanced practice programs, and clinical sessions. Some of these CNE activities may be co-provided with other associations or organizations. The MONA Provider Unit has been operational since 1978. It was accredited at that time by the American Nurses Association and has maintained accreditation as a provider of continuing nursing education.
The Lead Nurse Planner (LNP) responsible for the Provider Unit is a volunteer assisted by a full time Continuing Education Coordinator who is a member of the MONA staff assigned to the CE program. The LNP is responsible for ensuring adherence to the ANCC COA criteria in all aspects of the planning, implementing and evaluating educational activities offered by the MONA Provider Unit. The LNP serves as the Nurse Planner for all educational activities provided by MONA and ensures adherence to the ANCC COA educational design criteria. Each educational activity has a different planning committee consisting of the LNP, representatives of the target audience and content experts. The Continuing Education Coordinator is responsible for coordinating the office administration of the Provider Unit. The Chairperson of the Provider Unit is appointed by the MONA Board of Directors at the beginning of each biennium. The Chairperson coordinates all activities of the Provider Unit with the LNP and Continuing Education Coordinator. Members of the Provider Unit are appointed for two-year terms by the MONA Board of Directors after each biennial convention.
Members of the Provider Unit are all MONA members and have knowledge and expertise in one or more of the following categories: the target audience; continuing nursing education; baccalaureate or higher degree nursing education; nursing administration; Provider Unit CNE activities; specialized, general or advanced nursing practice. The MONA Board of Directors considers geographic representation when selecting members as well as experiential and educational qualifications.
