In addition to our initial exams, nurses are required to be recertified every three years for our certifications (except for the ACNP and CNS certification (renewal only) which lasts five years). The nurse maintains certification based on the recertification process which consists of a combination of working with critically ill patients and obtaining continuing education credits (CE's) throughout the term of their certification period. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we had 25,139 nurses recertify one or more of the certifications administered by AACN Certification Corporation. Overall, there are approximately 126,359 nurses that are certified in one or more of the categories of certification offered by AACN Certification Corporation.
