What is Certification in AIDS Nursing?

 The Association of Nurses in AIDS Care (ANAC) and the HIV/AIDS Nursing Certification Board (HANCB) endorse the concept of voluntary certification by examination for all nurses in HIV/AIDS nursing. Certification is one part of a process called credentialing. It focuses specifically on the individual and is an indication of current competence in a specialized area of practice. Board certification in HIV/AIDS nursing is highly valued and provides formal recognition of HIV/AIDS nursing knowledge.  

AIDS Certified Registered Nurse (ACRN)

 The purpose of certification is to promote comprehensive HIV/AIDS nursing care through the certification of qualified nurses by:

  1. Encouraging continued personal and professional growth in the practice of HIV/AIDS nursing;
  2. Establishing and measuring the level of knowledge required for certification in HIV/AIDS nursing;
  3. Providing a national standard of requisite knowledge for certification; thereby assisting the employer, public, and members of the health professions in the assessment of the HIV/AIDS nursing practice; and
  4. Recognizing formally through certification those individuals who meet the eligibility requirements and standards set by the HIV/AIDS Nursing Certification Board

Advanced HIV/AIDS Certified Registered Nurse (AACRN)

 The purpose of Advanced HIV/AIDS Certified Registered Nurse (AACRN) certification is to promote comprehensive advanced HIV/AIDS nursing practice through the certification of qualified nurses by: 

  1. Encouraging continued personal and professional growth in the practice of advanced HIV/AIDS nursing;
  2. Establishing and measuring the level of knowledge required for certification in advanced HIV/AIDS nursing;
  3. Providing a national standard of requisite knowledge for certification; thereby assisting the employer, public and members of the health professions in the assessment of advanced HIV/AIDS nursing practice; and
  4. Recognizing formally through certification those individuals who meet the eligibility requirements and standards set by the HIV/AIDS Nursing Certification Board.
