The Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) is responsible for the development and administration of the critical care nursing specialty examinations. The Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) developed and administered the first critical care nursing certification examination in 1995, in collaboration with the Canadian Association of Critical Care Nurses (CACCN).
Successful completion of the examination enables critical care nurses to hold the credential of Certified Nurse in Critical Care - Canada (CNCC-C) or Certified Nurse in Critical Care - Pediatrics (CNCCP-C) for a period of 5 years.
Although it is not necessary to be certified in Critical Care to be a member of the Canadian Association of Critical Care Nurses, CACCN believes that certification demonstrates commitment to learning and providing excellence in critical care. CACCN supports their members seeking certification and renewal of their certification, with educational opportunities, convenient links and funding opportunities.
