The movement toward certification in nursing practice areas has grown significantly over the past 40 years. Because a nursing license is recognized as indicating minimum competency, a certification credential indicates preparation beyond the minimum level.

ANS: A Nursing license is required or mandatory, but certification is voluntary. In nursing, the educational credentials that an individual holds indicate not only academic achievement but also a minimum level of competency. Licensure affords protection to the public by requiring the individual to demonstrate minimum competency. Nurses must pass an NCLEX® Exam for the state board of nursing to grant permission to practice nursing. Nursing licensure is renewed based on the requirements of the individual’s state of residence, and certification renewal varies based on the certifying organization. Licensure is not approved by the ANA but by the State Board of Nursing, which belongs to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing. Because a nurse is certified does not signify the ability to give safe care, the initial licensure as an RN is to determine a safe, competent practitioner.
