Update on certification program from ABPANC!!!!

We have an exciting update about our certification program to share with you.

ABPANC continuously reviews feedback from our certified nurses and candidates to determine ways to improve our testing processes. Because of this feedback, we are pleased to announce an exciting change: Effective immediately, ABPANC is extending its exam registration windows!

Our Fall registration window has re-opened through Oct. 31, 2022, and our Spring exam registration window will be open Jan. 1-April 30, 2023. We are excited to provide this additional flexibility to candidates preparing for their CPAN or CAPA exams. These extended dates are a permanent change.

Please help us share this news with nurses in your component and encourage them to apply and schedule their exam as soon as possible in their preferred exam windows. While the registration windows have been extended, the testing windows remain the same; because PSI Test Center seats fill up quickly; the later a candidate applies and schedules, the fewer options they may have for test date, location and method.

Thank you for all you do to promote certification excellence in perianesthesia nursing. If you have any questions, please contact us at abpanc@cpancapa.org.

Sincerely,
American Board of Perianesthesia Nursing Certification, Inc.
