ABNS Conferences

ABNS conferences, held semi- annual in early Spring and Fall, allow members and participants to discuss issues of common interest related to specialty nursing certification. Each Assembly Meeting provides a variety of valuable networking opportunities and educational offerings designed to help attendees gain more knowledge about testing, assessment strategies and management of certification organizations.

Attendees may receive Nursing CEs and CAE credit.
