How ABSNC Accreditation Strengthens Nursing Certification and Professional Growth

“To be a nurse is to participate in a community of care that is bigger than yourself. Certification reflects that commitment, and ABSNC accreditation ensures that certificants are equipped with the tools, standards, and support they need to provide exceptional care.”

In a recent interview with the Accreditation Board for Specialty Nursing Certification (ABSNC), BCEN Director of Certification and Accreditation Amy Grand, MSN, RN, ICE-CCP, who is currently serving as ABSNC board president, explains how accreditation represents the highest level of accountability and quality in specialty nursing certification.

In the discussion, she describes how this accountability translates into real-world standards for certification programs—namely, that ABSNC accreditation helps ensure nursing certification programs are grounded in evidence-based practice, peer-reviewed processes, and consistent competency expectations.

Mariah Rosensweet, FNP-C, MAGS, CEN, CPEN, CFRN, TCRN (Ret), CCRN, also shares her thoughts on how specialty certification can elevate a nurse’s career and support their professional growth.
