Abstract

The Medical-Surgical Nursing Certification Board (MSNCB™) is a professional organization whose mission is to val-idate excellence in medical-surgical nursing. MSNCB administers the Certified Medical-Surgical Registered Nurse (CMSRN®) certification program because certification is the recognized path for registered nurses to build and demon-strate commitment, confidence, and credibility. Certification provides an added credential beyond licensure. It demon-strates, by examination, that the registered nurse adheres to specialized nursing standards and has acquired a core body of specialized knowledge in their practice or specialty.
