    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Professional Credentialing
    • Healthcare Quality

    Background:

    • The Australian College of Critical Care Nurses (ACCCN) introduced a specialist credentialing model in 1998.
    • A pilot study was conducted to evaluate the credentialing package and process for experienced critical care nurses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the adequacy of the ACCCN's credentialing package and process.
    • To pilot the application and assessment procedures for specialist critical care nurses.

    Main Methods:

    • Applicants submitted evidence of specialist-level practice against defined competency standards.
    • Applications were reviewed by a three-person assessor panel.
    • Feedback was collected from applicants, peer reviewers, and referees.

    Main Results:

    • Six applications were received, with five nurses awarded the Australia Credentialled Critical Care Nurse (ACCN) credential.
    • The pilot study identified areas for refinement in the credentialing package and processes.
    • The credential is valid for 3 years.

    Conclusions:

    • The ACCCN credentialing model is effective in identifying specialist critical care nurses.
    • Feedback facilitated improvements to the credentialing system.
    • Australian critical care nurses now have regular opportunities to pursue credentialing.
