Medical-surgical nursing certification (and recertification) is offered by the Medical-Surgical Nursing Certification Board, an organization based in the United States that exists to establish credentialing mechanisms for validating proficiency in medical-surgical nursing. The Medical-Surgical Nursing Certification Board was founded by and is a partner of the Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses, a specialty nursing organization for medical-surgical nurses.
