QUESTION

Nurses can be certified in nursing informatics through which organization?

1. American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC)
2. American Nurses Association (ANA)
3. The state board of nursing (BON) in which they have primary residence
4. Any accredited master of nursing (MSN) program

ANSWER:

Correct Answer: 1

The certification as a nursing informatics specialist is recognized by the American Nurses Association (ANA), and certification is given for the specialty by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). The ANA, state boards of nursing, and individual master of nursing science programs do not have credentialing authority to issue nursing informatics certification.
