DNS-CT Certification Virtual Workshop 12/3/2024 Hosted and Taught by Amy Franklin

Take your leadership and management talents to the next level with the Director of Nursing Services—Certified (DNS-CT) certification. Earning this credential validates your expertise, gives you the advantage among your peers, and helps you improve quality, communication, and resident care throughout your facility. You must be a current RN and have the equivalent of two years of full-time long-term or post-acute care experience, with a minimum of one year of experience either as a DNS or relevant nursing leadership experience to qualify. With the DNS-CT credential behind your name, it shows you have the management skills and knowledge needed to master the challenges of being a DNS. The DNS-CT credential is perfect for directors of nursing services, nursing home administrators, vice presidents of clinical services, and other long-term care professionals with management responsibilities.

Your registration includes four days of online instruction from a Master Teacher covering the 10 courses of the DNS-CT program, access to digital workshop materials, and access to the 10 certification exams. To earn the DNS-CT credential, you must successfully complete the associated final certification exams with a score of 80% or higher. You will have one year from the date of the workshop before they expire. We suggest downloading and saving each PDF to a device of your choice. Although not required, you may print the PDFs at your own expense.
