Clinical Nurse Specialist Perioperative Certification — CNS-CP
View CertificateDescription
CNS-CP certification validates the achievement of the masters-prepared CNS who has chosen to seek current proficiency as an advanced practice nurse practicing in the perioperative (pre-, intra-, and post-operative) setting. The purpose of the CNS-CP exam is to provide recognition for those CNSs serving in an advanced practice perioperative specialty. The exam does not confer initial licensure as an APRN. This specialty certification is in addition to, not in place of, primary population-focused certification.
