Eligibility

To be eligible for the WOCNCB® Professional Growth Program, an applicant must fulfill the following requirements.

• Be currently licensed as a Registered Nurse. (Current RN licensure will be verified by WOCNCB staff. Please check with your state board of nursing to be sure your most current licensure is listed on their website.)
• Be currently certified by WOCNCB® in all specialties in which you apply for recertification. (Current certification will be verified by WOCNCB staff from its database.)

It is not permissible to recertify through the Professional Growth Program if you first fail the examinations for that recertification cycle.
