Neurovascular registered nurse (nvrn-BC)

Return to ANVC Homepage

The NVRN certification is the only certification for registered nurses that focuses exclusively on acute neurovascular care. Attainment of the NVRN-BC status demonstrates nursing expertise in the provision of acute neurovascular care to highly vulnerable, hospitalized, acute stroke patients. The NVRN certification was the first stroke certification recognized by Magnet and has been continuously available since 2011. Review courses supporting attainment of the NVRN-BC credential are available throughout the year. Certification examinations are offered through the Neurovascular Clinicians Certification Corporation (NVC-3). If you are interested in certifying, please click the NVC-3 link below to be redirected to their webpage.
