The CSSM certification/recertification process was designed to be fundamentally different than the CNOR process
CSSM is conceptualized as a mechanism to facilitate your ongoing professional development and lifelong learning
Your professional development plan will address your knowledge levels as identified by your initial certification examination scores
This certification method was developed in response to the direction provided by our accreditation providers
