Register for Upcoming Webinars
Contact hour will be awarded after completion of an online program evaluation which includes submission of your license number. Successful completion requires attending the webinar for the entire time. The evaluation will require a code from the beginning of the webinar and a code from the end of the webinar.
Providers may have as many people as they would like listening to the webinars but only the registered person who completes the evaluation will receive the contact hour. Webinar registration is available for both PADONA members & non-members.
Registration for all webinars closes at 9 am on the day of the webinar.
PADONA hosted education is available ONLY to Pennsylvania nurses.
Credit Card Payments – Change to Current Process
In an effort to ensure your credit card payment information remains secure, we will no longer be utilizing the ‘Credit Card Authorization Form’ to process credit card payments. Effective today, to make credit card payments, please utilize one of the following methods:1. You can register and submit credit card or debit card payment for educational events, such as our webinars and annual conference, directly through our website using Paypal.
2. You can submit your registration form directly to LuAnn White. Once registration is received, LuAnn will generate an invoice that will include a payment link for you to pay directly via credit card.
We will continue to accept checks for payment as well. This change impacts ONLY credit card payments. We appreciate your cooperation with this policy change.
Once your payment has been received and membership status verified, you will be registered for the webinar. For payment questions contact LuAnn White at luann@padona.com. For questions related to webinars contact Sophie Campbell at scampbell@padona.com.
PADONA is an approved provider, with distinction, of Nursing Continuing Professional Development contact hours by the Pennsylvania State Nurses Association Approver Unit, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation. Neither the presenter nor the planner have declared a conflict of interest.
