The NBCSN Board of Directors would like to congratulate the 65 new NCSNs who recently passed the National Certification Exam. We know how hard you work and taking time to prepare for the exam can be difficult, but knowing that you passed the exam makes it all worth while.
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.
