Founded in 1993, the American College of Nurse

keeping NPs current on legislative, regulatory and clinical practice
issues that effect NPs in the rapidly changing health care arena. ACNP
is a membership-directed organization for NPs, meaning the ACNP sets its

American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC)
The American Nurses
Association established the ANA Certification Program in 1973 to provide
tangible recognition of professional achievement in a defined functional
or clinical area of nursing. The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC)
became its own corporation, a subsidiary of ANA in 1991. More than
150,000 nurses throughout the U.S. and its territories in 40 specialty
and advanced practice areas of nursing carry ANCC certification. While
the role for nurses continues to evolve, ANCC has responded positively
by the re-conceptualization of certification and
Open Door 2000, a program that enables all qualified registered
nurses, regardless of their educational preparation to become certified
in any of five specialty areas: Gerontology, Medical-Surgical,
Pediatrics, Perinatal and Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing.
