The NOVA Board was successful in gaining approval from the ANCC to add a new certification specialty area -- as a VA NURSE!

A new committee is forming to research the protocol and develop the ANCC certification exam for this ANCC certification as a VA NURSE. We will be setting up initial contacts via e-mail for December and January. After that, we will also work together via telephone, and teleconferences as needed.

Please contact the Chair, Kathy Lehmann, if you are interested or have experience and would like to participate in this very exciting and historical activity. Input is needed from every level of experience. Kathleen.lehmann2@med.va.gov
