The Nephrology Nursing Certification Commission (www.nncc-exam.org) has received national accreditation for the Certified Dialysis Nurse (CDN) and the Certified Nephrology Nurse (CNN) certification programs by the Accreditation Board for Specialty Nursing Certification (ABNSC).
The accreditation, which was awarded in January and is granted for five years validates that the Nephrology Nursing Certification Commission programs have met ABNSC's rigorous standards for specialty certification. To receive the accreditation, the Nephrology Nursing Certification Commission provided extensive documentation demonstrating that its programs meet ABNSC's 18 standards of quality.
"This is great news for our certified nurses and for those planning on getting certified," said Nancy Gallagher, RN, the Nephrology Nursing Certification Commission executive director.
