Answer:
Standing for registered nurse certified, RNC nursing certification is a special type of nursing credential that allows a registered nurse to work in certain fields of medicine and patient care (i.e., an employer may require an individual to have or obtain a RNC nursing certification to advance their career or meet federal, state, or local guidelines. Although there are various field in which an individual can become RNC nursing certified (e.g., neonatal intensive care), most of these certification exams share similar formats and ask similar questions. To qualify for one of these exams (according to National Certification Cooperation, as of 2020), an individual must:
- have an active registered nursing license in the U.S. or Canada
- 24 months of education and/or experience within the respective specialty
- employment within the specialty field (some point during the 24 months)
Assuming one meets all of the necessary exam requirements, they will also need to pay a test fee of $325; in addition, the test timed test (3 hours) consists of 175 multiple-choice questions, some of which are randomly unscored for statistical purposes (NCC, as of 2020).
