Abstract

The number of board-certified RNs in the United States continues to increase, but cost and fear of failure inhibit many from seeking certification. In 2009, the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board developed a no-risk program called No Pass, No Pay (NPNP) for its Certified Pediatric Nurse (CPN®) exam. In 2012, 49% of the 2299 nurses earning CPN certification did so through NPNP. This article explores program structure, successes, and findings from 2011 stakeholder surveys of NPNP hospital leaders, NPNP program facilitators, and nurses who attained CPN certification through NPNP. Aspects of NPNP may prove applicable to other certification boards.

摘要

美国获得委员会认证的注册护士数量持续增加，但成本和对失败的恐惧阻碍了许多人寻求认证。2009年，儿科护理认证委员会为其认证儿科护士（CPN®）考试制定了一项无风险计划，称为“未通过，不付费”（NPNP）。2012年，在获得CPN认证的2299名护士中，49%是通过NPNP获得认证的。本文探讨了该计划的结构、成功之处以及2011年对NPNP医院领导、NPNP项目推动者以及通过NPNP获得CPN认证的护士进行的利益相关者调查结果。NPNP的各个方面可能适用于其他认证委员会。
