I'm definitely interested in going into a specialty area, so I'm really wanting to start working towards these things asap, even while still in school if that's at all possible!

Normally the nurse's interests lie in a certain specialty area. In order to become certified in an area, you would need experience in said area first.

That is how you start the process. Many certification requirements are such that you must work a certain time Has 40 years experience. Other entities are certifying bodies as well. Thanks so much for all your info! Looks like I will not be able to apply to take the tests until I have quite some time of clinical experience, but at least I know what i have to do from the start, so I'm focused on that goal at all times, kwim?

You guys are so fabulous. Thanks again! More good info! I'll google them and see what their requirements and stuff are for certification. The more options the better, so I can find out what would be best for me.

Thank you! Since the different testing choices have their own policies and procedures, candidates should investigate all the options before applying to take the test. After a candidate applies, NCC will send a test outline and resource suggestions.

The examination is multiple choice and tests basic and applied knowledge. Almost 30 percent of the questions test labor and delivery knowledge. Another 40 percent of the test is divided among questions on obstetric complications and fetal assessment knowledge.

The rest of the questions address maternal factors, postpartum, newborns and professional issues. Candidates have three hours to complete the exam. A credentialed nurse reestablishes certification every three years either by taking another exam or through 45 hours of continuing education.
