The Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) Examination

Thanks for the great info Vicky. I'm currently in the MSN-Educator program. I am already BC through ANCC in Nursing Professional Education and am hoping this experience will also be helpful when I take the CNE exam.

The National League for Nursing's highly regarded certification program for academic nurse educators, launched in 2005 to confirm nursing education as an advanced specialty area of practice, has been accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). This means that the NLN has joined an elite group of organizations, representing more than 200 programs, to have received and maintained NCCA accreditation, a prized reflection of professional stature and acceptance.

Accreditation by NCCA, the accrediting body of the National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA), is granted for a five-year period, following thorough review and evaluation of a program's compliance with the NCCA Standards for the Accreditation of Certification Programs. The standards, first created in 1977 and updated in 2003, ensure that certification programs in a wide range of fields adhere to modern standards of practice for the certification industry. The Washington, DC-based NCCA and NOCA both exist to protect public health, safety, and welfare.
