Many certification requirements are such that you must work a certain time Has 40 years experience. Other entities are certifying bodies as well. Thanks so much for all your info! Looks like I will not be able to apply to take the tests until I have quite some time of clinical experience, but at least I know what i have to do from the start, so I'm focused on that goal at all times, kwim?
You guys are so fabulous. Thanks again! More good info! I'll google them and see what their requirements and stuff are for certification. The more options the better, so I can find out what would be best for me. Thank you! Jan 2, I've held two different certifications in nursing over the years. It's something that makes you feel pride in the profession.
You do certification for yourself. It also provides instant recognition by bosses, coworkers and even patients that you are a nurse who stays current in the profession and wants to deliver a high level of care. Eighty-six percent of nurse managers prefer to hire certified nurses. NCC offers exams to become certified and receive an RNC certificate in specific specialties, including:. To test for any certification, you must include a copy of your state nursing license.
Some tests have additional requirements, too, such as work experience. For example, to test for certification in Inpatient Obstetric Nursing, Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing, Low Risk Neonatal Nursing or Maternal Newborn Nursing, you must have at least 24 months of recent work experience consisting of at least 2, hours. However, no practice experience is required to test for Obstetric and Neonatal Quality and Safety, Neonatal Pediatric Transport, Care of the Extremely Low Birth Weight Neonate and others, but it is recommended that test takers have work experience in the subject matter to do well on the test.
To take the tests for Women's Health Care Nurse Practitioner or Neonatal Nurse Practitioner certification exam, nurse practitioners NP must have completed a formal program that prepares them to work in the field and awards a graduate degree that was earned within the previous eight years.
When NPs cannot meet these criteria, they may be able to use the alternate certification program, which requires a letter from their employer verifying 2, hours of work within the past three years, plus numerous other criteria.
