CANDIDATES
MSCN Certification Guidelines
It is recommended that candidates have at least two years of experience in multiple sclerosis nursing. Candidates must meet the following requirements:
- Currently registered as a Registered Nurse, or the equivalent in other countries
- Completion and filing of an Application for the Multiple Sclerosis Nursing International Certification Examination.
- Payment of required fee.
MSCN Recertification Guidelines
The Multiple Sclerosis Certified Nurse (MSCN) certification is recognized for five years.
For those who certified in May/June, the expiration
date will be June 30th, and those who certified in November, the expiration date will be December 31st. Application for recertification must be submitted online at least 3 months prior to the expiration date.
MSCN-e (EMERITUS) Guidelines
MS nursing professionals who currently hold the MSCN credential but who retire from active practice may apply for Emeritus Status, which will be conferred on a one-time basis and will not require renewal, as it will be valid indefinitely. Those who are granted Emeritus Status will be able to use the designation of MSCN-e but will no longer be able to use the original MSCN designation.
The world of MS is ever-changing. The continuous advances being made in MS research is improving our knowledge of the disease and leading to new treatment options which only benefits our MS patients. Becoming an MS Certified nurse provides formal recognition of your knowledge and expertise in caring for persons living with MS.
