Detailed information about this program
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. School nursing services are governed on the state level and are, therefore, subject to state requirements. Many states have specific and/or unique state certification or licensing requirements related to additional preparation beyond RN licensing and/or undergraduate educational degrees. Please check with the NASN affiliate in your area or your state school nurse consultant for specifics related to state requirements.
