Abstract

Certification exams are often the least understood aspect of certification processes. This article delves into the development of certification exams, highlighting their crucial role in assessing the knowledge and skills required for effective job performance. It explores how exams are meticulously crafted to align with specific job tasks, knowledge areas, and skill sets within various nursing specialties. Through collaborative efforts between practicing nurses and exam developers, these exams are designed to uphold validity, reliability, and fairness standards. Ultimately, certification exams are pivotal in evaluating nurses' competencies in vital aspects of clinical practice, facilitated by ongoing partnerships between nurses and certifying bodies. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2024;55(11):513-516.].
