Nursing Spectrum Division of Continuing Education is accredited as a provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation.

Nursing Spectrum Continuing Education has been honored by the American Nurses Credentialing Center with Premier Status and is the only for-profit entity to ever receive the Accreditation Premier Program Award. The ANCC stated: "The most obvious example of Nursing Spectrum CE's status as a model of learning excellence comes from the more than 250 healthcare organizations and systems that have contracted for access to Nursing Spectrum CE's educational activities for their nurses through CE Direct. Some organizations have been in this relationship for seven years or more, and the program has a 95% renewal rate."

Nursing Spectrum was also cited by ANCC for having quality courses and strong leadership.

Nursing Spectrum is also accredited by the State of Florida, Board of Nursing (provider no. FBN 2904); California Board of Registered Nursing (Provider # CEP 13213); and through the Department of Education for school nurses in New Jersey (provider ID 961) and Pennsylvania.

Nursing Spectrum's continuing education (CE) contact hours are generally accepted by most professional nursing organizations and state boards of nursing. Nursing Spectrum has made substantial efforts to obtain appropriate providerships for CE offerings. However, Nursing Spectrum does not warrant that all professional organizations or licensing authorities will accept its CE contact hours. If in doubt, nurses are advised to contact their professional organizations or licensing authorities to confirm their acceptance of these contact hours.
