Meaning of Board Certification

Nurse Examiners with SANE-A® after their name are Board-Certified Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners-Adult/Adolescent. Nurse Examiners with SANE-P® after their name are Board-Certified Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners-Pediatric. Earning certification demonstrates professional commitment, a key capacity of leadership. Nurses who take the extra step to become certified in their specialty document their commitment to quality care. Specialty certification is increasingly becoming an essential nursing credential.

Becoming Board-Certified is a statement that a nurse has accepted the challenge of preparing for and passing a rigorous examination demonstrating refined knowledge and critical thinking skills in clinical practice.
