Planning ahead for your NCSN recertification can make the process much smoother. Important facts to note:

• You may submit your recertification application up to 6 months before your certification expires.
• NBCSN encourages certificants to submit more than the required 75 CEUs whenever possible.

Because our reviewers are volunteers, applications cannot be pre-reviewed in advance to confirm CEU eligibility. Submitting extra CEUs and applying early can help ensure you have time to address any issues before your certification expires.

A little preparation now can help avoid last-minute stress later, discover how you can get started: https://ow.ly/Xs2i50Znxss

In a specialty that spans healthcare, education, and advocacy, especially for our most vulnerable students, national certification sets a standard that reflects both competence and commitment.
