These two CNE systems were studied in terms of the history, structure, required hours, accepted activities and reviewing and approving documents by review of existing information. Results: Legislation of CNE in Iran and America dates back to 1996 and 1984. reviewing and approving documents of the evidence in Iran was done by the Office of in-service education, free of charge, with the aim of gaining promotion and wage increases, and in America it was performed by the State Nursing Boards, with receiving a fee for the purpose of accreditation and renew RN .Conclusion: In both countries, the emphasis is on participation in programs not on the impact of programs on the quality of patient care.
