Affiliations and Recognition of the CRNI® credential:

The CRNI® Exam is Accredited by the American Board of Nursing Specialties (ABNS)!
INCC is proud to report that the CRNI® examination program received accreditation from the American Board  of Nursing Specialties (ABNS) in July 2006. Accreditation status is granted for five years.

ABNS is the standard setting body for specialty nursing certification programs and offers a very stringent and comprehensive accreditation process. INCC provided documentation demonstrating that it has met the 18 ABNS standards of quality. ABNS, one of 2 nationally recognized organizations to accredit nursing certification programs, is specifically designed to recognize specialty nursing certification programs.

This means that a nationally recognized accrediting body has determined that the CRNI® credential is based on a valid and reliable testing process, and that the structures in place to administer the CRNI® examination meet and exceed the standards of the certification industry from a legal, regulatory, and association management perspective.
