Are you attending the ANCC National Magnet Conference® in Orlando, FL, next month? We are!
NNCC's testing partner, Center for Nursing Education and Testing (C-NET) has moved. Their new address is 35 Journal Square, Suite 901, Jersey City, NJ 07306. NNCC has updated the CCHT examination application with the new information. Please use the current CCHT examination application.
In 2010 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) mandated that patient care technicians providing direct patient care in dialysis clinics must be certified within 18 months of employment. Nursing certification has remained voluntary. This study will replicate a study done by the American Board of Nursing Specialties (ABNS) in 2007 of the Perceived Value of Certification. We will compare our results with those of that earlier study to see if there are any changes in how nurses and technicians value certification.
