NEPHROLOGY NURSING ADVOCACY AWARD

An award is made by NNCC to an organization/facility/department/unit that demonstrates that it values certification.

Good tests do not arise spontaneously from item writers. They are carefully planned. A test has a specific blueprint, or test plan, which identifies what needs to be included on the test. In addition, there is a list of the key content or activities performed by technicians. Both the blueprint and the key content/activities serve as item-writing guides or “test specifications” for the item writers.

PITMAN, NJ —The Accreditation Board for Specialty Nursing Certification, Inc. (ABSNC), recently announced it has granted accreditation to the Nephrology Nursing Certification Commission (NNCC) for the Certified Clinical Hemodialysis Technician (CCHT) certification program.
