The Addictions Nursing Certification Board (ANCB) invites all registered nurses and advanced practice nurses working in addictions to participate in an important survey about your practice. Nurses are a vital stakeholder in understanding the need for changes and innovation to facilitate best practices to improve patient outcomes. This survey will be used to ensure the contents of the Certified Addictions Registered Nurse (CARN) and Certified Addictions Registered Nurse-Advanced Practice (CARN-AP) exams are current. You do NOT have to hold the CARN or CARN-AP credential to participate.

The survey will take about 30-45 minutes to complete. You may complete the survey in multiple sittings by saving your progress and returning at a later time. You can take the survey on a computer or mobile device. All survey responses will remain anonymous.

As a practicing addictions nurse, your contribution is extremely important!
