The Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) Examination The Value of Certification
Certification in any field is a mark of professionalism. For academic nurse educators, it establishes nursing education as a specialty area of practice and creates a means for faculty to demonstrate their expertise in this role. It communicates to students, peers and the academic and health care communities that the highest standards of excellence are being met. By becoming credentialed as a Certified Nurse Educator (CNE), you serve as a leader and a role model. Goals of CNE Certification: - Distinguish academic nursing education as a specialty area of practice and an advanced practice role within professional nursing.
- Recognize the academic nurse educator’s specialized knowledge, skills and abilities and excellence in practice.
- Strengthen the use of core competencies of nurse educator practice.
- Demonstrate a commitment to professional development, lifelong learning and nursing education as a career.

Re: The Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) Examination
I took the CNE examination in January, 2006. It was difficult but doable. I scheduled my test at one of the AMP testing centers, and took it by computer. It consisted of 150 multiple choice questions and I had 3 hours to complete the test. Cost was $325 as an NLN member ($425 for nonmembers), and this was reimbursed by my school. I took the Self-Assessment Examination (SAE), which I highly recommend, as this was a great help on the actual CNE examination. The cost for the SAE is $49.95 for NLN members, $64.95 for non-members, and well worth every penny. There are also eight sample questions on pages 12 and 13 of the Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) 2006 Candidate Handbook . As soon as the candidate is finished with the test, he/she is told the test score and if he/she passed or not - so there is no fretful waiting.

Re: Resources for Nurse Educators/ Strategies to Enhance Critical Thinking
Hello Fellow Nurse Educators!
I am new to the forum, and look forward to some great learning discussions. What brings me here tonight is the certification exam for nurse educators. I saw that Vicky had taken the exam. I'd like to know what you thought of the exam. How did you prepare to take the exam? Would you recommend any specific resource to prepare. I did go on the website and saw a long list of references. Did you follow that list? Any feedback at all would be appreciated. I teach at a large ADN program in the southwest. No discussion yet as to making CNE a requirement, I just think I'd like to do it.
Thank you.

I had already purchased several of the textbooks in the reference list during my course of study for my MSN-Nursing Education. So, I used some of the reference material in studying for the CNE, but not all. I took the Self-Assessment Examination (SAE), and any concept that I did not understand in the question was highlighted by me. I then went back and thoroughly reviewed my highlighted content (whether in the textbooks or from other sources). This strategy proved very successful to me.

Hi, I have completed my Masters in Nursing, specialized in Pediatrics. I would like to get more information on working in countries outside INDIA and how to go about in applying and working out the same. I am interested in widening my horizons. My first preference is to work in the US as a teaching faculty for Nursing.
I would appreciate any help...

Re: Resources for Nurse Educators/ Strategies to Enhance Critical Thinking
Ok I am in a MSN program with a specialty in nursing education would you suggest also being certified? It just sounds redundant? I could be wrong but, after completing a Masters program in nursing education should I consider this?

Yes, it is a valuable credential and will add to your marketability.

Re: The Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) Examination
Is there a certification program out there for those of us who have a BSN. I have been working as our unit base educator for about 6 months now. I would like to become certified, but at my age I don't want to get my MSN. I think I have seen one but I can't find the information now.
Thanks
