Thank you to the Advanced Practice Exam Board.
The Advanced Practice Exam Board met in May in Chicago, IL, to review the CNN-NP processes as well as the examination test questions to ensure the highest quality exam offered to nephrology nurse practitioners.
Did you know NNCC exists to establish credentialing mechanisms to promote patient safety and to improve the quality of care provided to nephrology patients? NNCC supports the philosophy that there should be a diversity of examinations that will effectively provide the opportunity for certification at various levels of education, experience, and areas of practice within nephrology nursing. It is the goal of NNCC to promote the highest standards of nephrology nursing practice through the development, implementation, and evaluation of all aspects of the certification and re-certification processes
