Recertification Roadmap:

To help you prepare for recertification, INCC has created a 3-year Recertification Plan. Opting for one of these plans will streamline the recertification process, making it both time and cost-efficient. Follow one of these pathways to make recertification easier than ever!

Additional Information:

Please note, while INCC does provide recertification reminders, it is a CRNI®’s professional responsibility to track RUs and to ensure that INCC receives a complete recertification or exam application with appropriate fees by the published deadlines.

To ensure you receive all reminders, please inform INCC of any changes to your mailing or email address by contacting INCC at incc@incc1.org.
