In 2024, CNA is embarking on essential maintenance and updates for the Community Health Nursing Certification exam. These activities will encompass currency reviews (i.e., list of competencies, the practice test, and the exam form.) CNA and CHNC firmly believe that collaboration will significantly benefit the nursing community.

CNA has asked CHNC to identify nurses who can participate in the maintenance activities for the Community Health Nursing exam. These nurses will contribute by reviewing questions or competencies, updating content, and ensuring alignment with industry standards.

Continuous Learning (CL) Credit: Participation in this committee can be credited toward the 100 hours of Continuous Learning (CL) required to maintain specialty certification, CHNC (C).
