Question:
I have a question regarding audits. I submitted my portfolio and have been approved in all 3 scopes. I see in the handbook that an audit notice would be within 5 days of submitting portfolio. Is there any reason after being approved that I would need to keep my portfolio proof? It would be nice to declutter if I don't need to hang onto it. Thanks

Question:
I updated a PowerPoint I use as a guest lecturer on wound and ostomy to local collegiate nursing students. I know that I can put it in as a presentation, but the new system doesn't clearly allow for updating, only development. I am unsure where to put the time invested to update the material. Thanks!

It would not necessarily count in a PGP portfolio, if there is not an activity identified for revision of a program. The new handbook was pared down to simplify the recertification process via portfolio, and with the addition of Practice Hours for points.
Question:
If audited, what is required as documentation for presenting an educational program?
Answered March 15, 2024
We can accept a sign-in sheet, or a flyer showing you as presenter, or a copy of your presentation slide first page with your name as presenter, or an email confirming your program, etc. Any document to substantiate it occurred with your name showing as presenter.
Question:
Hello! How are points used when volunteering at a regional conference? The handbook says it is 5 points, but can you use that for each specialty or just one? Thanks!
Answered March 15, 2024
The PGP handbook identifies some activities, which you'll need to determine if this may or may not fit. There are points for Conference Booth Volunteer, or for Conference Planning Committee member or chair, or event chair. The points are per year or per event, and would go into one portfolio.
Question:
I wanted to verify my PGP points accumulation period. I first received my certification 10/12/22 and have an expiration date of 10/31/2027. Is my accumulation period 7/31/2022 through 7/31/2027?
Answered March 15, 2024
Our online PGP system is automatically assigning the 3-month lead time to the dates, since portfolios are due 3 months prior to credentials expiration. However, if you first certified on 10/12/22, you should use activity points after earning certification.
Question:
I have submitted my PGP application. The application status reads "completed (accepted)". However, the certification expiration date has not been updated. How long will it take for the new certification expiration date to be updated? Is there an escalation process if the expiration date does not get updated? Thank you for clarifying.

The online verification update may take about two weeks to migrate to the website after a PGP approval.
