SCRN-Retired Status

ABNN developed the SCRN-Retired status to recognize SCRNs who have retired from their professional nursing career but wish to maintain their credentials.

Eligibility

In order to be eligible for SCRN-Retired status, candidates must

  • retire from professional nursing with no plans to resume practice or renew certification
  • be a current SCRN at the time of retirement
  • have a current, unrestricted registered nurse (RN) license at the time of retirement.

Use of Designation

An individual who has been granted SCRN-Retired status may use the designation SCRN-Retired. The SCRN-Retired designation may be used below the name but not after a signature nor on a professional name badge.

An individual who has been granted SCRN-Retired status may not represent himself or herself as a Stroke Certified Registered Nurse (SCRN).

Re-Entering Workforce

If a SCRN-Retired re-enters the workforce, he or she may no longer use the retired designation and can regain the SCRN credential by meeting the current eligibility criteria, paying the examination fee, and passing the SCRN examination.
