NBCSN and National Certification
The National Board for Certification of School Nurses (NBCSN) endorses the concept of voluntary certification by examination for all school nurses. Professional certification in school nursing provides an ongoing, quality credentialing process for eligible school nurses.
Certification represents a national standard of preparation, knowledge, and practice. To assist with this recognition, the NBCSN provides the opportunity for school nurses to set the standards for their specialty area through voluntary professional certification. NBCSN has trademarked 'NCSN' as the official credential of the National Certified School Nurse. All candidates successfully completing the national examination are eligible to use this credential. To learn more about NBCSN and the national school nurse certification exam, visit NBCSN's web site at www.nbcsn.com.
Certification Preparation
NASN promotes national certification through NBCSN. To assist NASN members in preparing for the NBCSN national school nurse certification exam, NASN supported the publication of a certficiation preparation book titled, School Nursing Certification Review, which is available through the NASN Bookstore http://www.nasn.org/Default.aspx?tabid=142. In addition, NASN created a Certification Preparation section on this Web site for members considering the national exam.
