ABNN Certification

About ABNN

The American Board of Neuroscience Nursing (ABNN) is the independent, not-for-profit corporation established to design, implement, and evaluate a certification program for professional nurses involved in the specialty practice of neuroscience nursing and its sub-specialties.

ABNN is solely responsible for the development, administration, and evaluation of the certification program. Neuroscience nursing is the diagnosis and treatment of actual or potential patient and family responses to nervous system function and dysfunction across the healthcare continuum. ABNN promotes the practice and contributions made by neuroscience nurses to the health of the nation through the certification of registered nurses.
