1 Introducing the CNE Exam and its Blueprint • 15 HOW TO RECERTIFY AFTER 5 YEARS After you pass the CNE examination, you feel elated and are glad you will not need to think about it for another 5 years. However, if you are relaxed about keeping accurate records of your presentations, conferences attended, and involvement in community or professional services it will result in difficulty in completing the activity record for the CNE recertification. The recertification requirement is 50 renewal credits (RCs) that should be distributed over the 5-year period. There is a renewal credit conversion table on their website. Some examples are one clock hour of professional presentations = 1.5 wrenewal credits, whereas 10 hours of innovative teaching/ learning activities = 1 renewal credit. The educator must have submissions in at least three areas. Simplify the recertification process with three steps: 1. Download the Activity Record Form from the NLN (2012b) website after you pass the examination. Complete the form when you meet any of the competencies. Each competency includes the specific activity, date, renewal credit, and the outcome. It is much easier to complete it immediately instead of trying to locate the information years later. 2. Keep the hard copies of certificates of attendance in a folder. Scan these documents into a folder in your electronic PDF documents so you have an additional copy in case the original copies become lost or damaged within the 5 years. These supporting documents only need to be sent if requested by the Academic Nurse Educator Certification Program (ANECP). 3. Submit the information approximately 8 to 10 weeks before the due date; this information is derived from my own experience. The certification period begins on the date you passed the examination. The date the certification period ends is indicated by the expiration date located on the CNE certificate. If you fail to satisfy the recertification requirements prior to the conclusion of the cycle, you will be placed on an inactive list and you will receive a suspension notice. Failure to satisfy the requirements within 1 year results in termination of the certification. During the suspension period, faculty who are suspended may not represent themselves as certified by the NLN. Many faculty have difficulty in determining whether specific activities can be utilized to meet the competencies. Table 1.2 can assist you with determining the activities that meet each competency. Please note that activities for recertification may overlap into more than one competency.
