NBCSN achieved ABNS accreditation:

The NCSN® certification program was granted accreditation by the American Board of Nursing Specialties (ABNS) in May 2008.  Accreditation status is granted for five years.

What does ABNS accreditation mean for those interested in becoming NCSN® certified of for those already certified?  It means that a nationally recognized accrediting body has determined that the NCSN® credential is based on a valid and reliable testing process and that the structures in place to administer the examinations meet and even exceed the standards of certification industry from a legal, regulatory and association management perspective.
