Certification Central President’s Summer 2022 Message (From the AMSN Blog)

AMSN News · AMSN Blog | Jun 13, 2022

June 2022

Charles "Wes" Foster, MSN, BA, RN, CMSRN, OCN, MSNCB President

Discussing some of the upcoming activities for MSNCB that will benefit our certificant and answering some of the frequently asked questions about recertification.

To recertify your credential, you must have a current RN license or foreign equivalent, accrued 1,000 practice hours in a med-surg setting in the last five years, and earned 90 contact hours in the last five years.

Frequently, we are asked, “what practice hours count towards recertification if I am not at the bedside?” We are glad you asked! First and foremost, we set the standard of 1,000 hours in five years to capture the nurses that work on a per diem basis.
