CNC is autonomous in conducting all aspects of its certification functions including but not limited to the establishment of the bylaws, policies, operating rules and procedures, and examinations; implementation of its operating rules and procedures; allocation of budget and expenditures; and selection of its own officers, evaluators, and consultants.
Composed of representatives from practice, academia, and the public, this authority leads the effort to certify graduates of master’s level nursing programs that prepare advanced generalists for practice across a variety of health care settings. CNC offers certification to graduates of CNL programs who meet the established eligibility requirements.
