Alumnus CCRN Status

Alumnus CCRN status was designed for those CCRN-certified nurses who have left direct bedside critical care but are still in the nursing profession in some other capacity, many of whom have expressed a strong desire to remain connected with the credential. Alumnus CCRN status is renewable on a 3-year cycle. The "Alumnus CCRN" designation, written out, may be used on your CV or resume or below your name and credentials on a business card, but may not be used after your signature or on a name badge.

Eligibility Requirements

• Have held CCRN certification at some time in past
• No longer working at the bedside of acutely or critically ill patients, not even in a supervisory role (supervisors at the bedside are still qualified to be CCRNs and are therefore not qualified for the Alumnus CCRN status)
• Submission of a completed application and fee. No submission of CERPs is required.

Benefits

• Alumnus CCRN certificate suitable for framing
• Attractive lapel pin that denotes Alumnus status
• Monthly issues of AACN News
• Able to attend Certification Celebration (previously Certification Luncheon) at NTI

Fees

Payable in U.S. Funds. Fees are subject to change without notice.
