Certification Not Valid for Proving Eligibility Requirements

Applicants seeking a new certification are evaluated based on current eligibility criteria in effect at the time of application submission. ANCC does not waive eligibility requirements for an applicant holding a current or past ANCC certification.  The fact that an individual holds or has held ANCC certification cannot be used as or be construed as evidence that the individual has completed the required educational and clinical requirements for the new certification.
