To All MSCNs Who Became Certified in 2005:

Certified Multiple Sclerosis Nurses are required to recertify every five years. Having achieved certification as an MS nurse, you know the value in maintaining your knowledge and skills in your specialty. To continue certification status, you have the option of recertifying by submitting accumulated Learning Activities (LA) during the five-year certification term or by retaking the Multiple Sclerosis Nursing International Certification Examination.

Enclosed are the Guidelines for Recertification and the Application for Recertification of Multiple Sclerosis Certified Nurses through Learning Activities. This information may also be found online at WWW.PTCNY.COM/CLIENTS/MSNICB/.

Questions concerning the acceptability of learning activities or the recertification process and the status of an application should be directed to the Professional Testing Corporation. If you would like to take the Multiple Sclerosis Nursing International Certification Examination, please contact Professional Testing Corporation at 212-356-0660, e-mail PTCNY@PTCNY.COM.

You should be proud in your achievement as a certified MS nurse. In recertifying, you are acknowledging your commitment to excellence in MS care of patients and their families, nursing professionalism, and personal accomplishment.

Applications for recertification must be submitted at least 3 months prior to expiration date.

Application Deadlines:

March 26th for May/June certification expiration
August 27th for November 30th certification expiration
