Welcome to MSNICB!

As we step into the new year, I want to take a moment to reflect on our collective journey and look forward to the opportunities ahead. It is an honor to serve as your President for the Multiple Sclerosis Nurses International Certification Board (MSNICB) and work alongside such dedicated and compassionate professionals. Your commitment to excellence in multiple sclerosis (MS) nursing has always been the cornerstone in meeting the healthcare needs of patients suffering from this chronic illness.

The past year has brought challenges that tested our resilience and adaptability. Yet, time and again, nurses have risen to the occasion, demonstrating unparalleled strength and unwavering dedication. Whether providing bedside care, leading innovative research, advancing public health, or mentoring the next generation of nurses, your contributions have been nothing short of extraordinary. Looking ahead, the MSNICB is committed to supporting the highest standards of nursing practice and fostering professional growth in MS care.

The MSNICB was established by the IOMSN to develop a certification exam for those caring for individuals with MS. The certification exam is a voluntary process wherein nurses and other health care providers can sit for the exam which formally recognizes their excellence and knowledge in the care and treatment of MS patients and their families. Becoming an MS Certified nurse provides formal recognition of your knowledge and expertise in caring for persons living with MS and offers numerous benefits, including enhanced career opportunities, increased earning potential, boosted confidence, and improved patient outcomes through validated expertise.

The last few years have been challenging for many organizations for various reasons and the world of MS is ever-changing. This year, the MSNICB will work diligently to support our mission to provide a certification examination that validates a nurse's specialized knowledge and skills within a specialty of multiple sclerosis nursing and promote continued competence through certification renewal. We will work collaboratively with the IOMSN, CMSC and other organizations globally to ensure a strong pipeline of engaging new nurses while also providing support to our existing members.
