The Certification Exam Handbook is a comprehensive resource for nurses who want to take the CCRN, PCCN, CMC or CSC exam. The handbook features detailed information about each exam, and includes everything nurses will need to apply: eligibility requirements, application guidelines, application forms, honor statements, test plans, study bibliographies, sample questions, fees and exam rules. Two additional resources, the CCNS Exam Handbook and the ACNPC Handbook, are complete references for those interested in taking the CCNS or ACNPC exam or becoming certified as an ACNPC by endorsement.
The renewal handbooks are an invaluable source of information for nurses who are preparing to renew their certification. The handbooks contain essential details on eligibility, renewal options (Synergy CERPs or CEs), fees, renewal applications and honor statements.
This section contains applications for alternate status for CCRNs and PCCNs who are retired or seeking Alumnus status. For more information about alternate status, refer to the CCRN/PCCN Renewal Handbook.
