Certification, Recertification & Examination Overview |
What is a Certification in Addiction Nursing? Addictions nursing is the specialty for nurses dedicated to the prevention, intervention, treatment, and management of addictive disorders. The Certification in Addiction Nursing is based on nurses’ ability to practice within the context of the scope and standards of practice for addiction nursing, as well as the American Nurses Association’s Code of Ethics. Addictions nurses can practice in various care settings and across all nursing specialties. |
|
| Why Certify? Certification attests to the acquisition of specialized knowledge beyond the essential nursing credential. It maintains and promotes quality nursing care by allowing nurses to demonstrate their proficiency in a nursing specialty. This documentation of special knowledge enhances the standards of addictions nursing practice and provides expanded career opportunities and advancement within the specialty. Thus, certification benefits the nurse, the nursing profession, and the public! |
Why Re-certify? Recertification in addictions nursing through ANCB programs for Certified Addictions Registered Nurses (CARN) formally recognizes ongoing achievement and demonstrates a substantial wealth of knowledge essential for practice in addictions nursing. The ANCB awards recertification of the CARN credential to acknowledge nurses who showcase their expertise by maintaining licensure and continually enhancing their evidence-based knowledge through education, practice, and skill development. Recertification benefits individuals, families, nurses, the nursing profession, and the public. |  |
