The 2012 REACHE Conference

Contact Hours

This activity has been submitted to the Washington State Nurses Association Continuing Education Approval & Recognition Program (CEARP) for approval to award contact hours. The Washington State Nurses Association Continuing Education Approval & Recognition Program (CEARP) is accredited as an approver of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation.

Traditionally, REACHE conferences have been awarded between 6 - 6.75 contact hours by the International Childbirth Education Association (ICEA) and 6.0 - 6.5 contact hours by the Washington State Nurses Association (WSNA). In 2012 we'll also be applying for IBCLC CERPs.
