Your CPN® Recert Activity Options
We offer several options for you to choose from when participating in
our annual Recertification program.
Your CPN® Recertification Program is managed in 7-year cycles, and for
one year during this cycle, the PNCB's Pediatric Nursing Self-Assessment Exercises (SAE) is required.
For the remaining six years of your cycle, you may select documentation options.
The chart below lists your possible choices and links to each option so you can learn more.
You choose when to do each option.
Your SAE doesn't need to be taken during a particular year... just be sure you complete one within your 7-year cycle.
This self-paced learning activity can be taken more than once in a 7-year cycle—we offer a new edition of this
acclaimed SAE every other year.
| CPN® Recertification Options for Your 7-Year Cycle |
| • Required once every 7 years: Pediatric Nursing SAE |
| • Documentation of 10 Contact Hours or 1 Academic Credit |
| • Documentation of 5 Contact Hours and 200 Clinical Practice Hours |
| • Inactive* |
* The Inactive option is not recommended but is included as a choice should you be faced with
unusual circumstances that prevent you from completing an SAE or documentation.
Only 1 year of inactivity is allowed
within each 7-year cycle. More than 1 year of inactivity within a 7-year
cycle will require you to forfeit previous participation and you'll need to take the exam again
to regain certification.
