The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) incorporated the foundation provided by the American Nurses Association (ANA) in its definition of nursing informatics and scope and standards of practice

Applicants for the Informatics Nurse credentialing examination are required to meet which of the following minimum criteria? Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Advanced graduate education in nursing informatics (or related field)
2. Equivalent of two years of full-time professional practice
3. Professional clinical practice for at least 500 hours
4. Baccalaureate or higher degree in nursing (or relevant field baccalaureate)
5. Current, active license as a professional nurse


2,4,5
Rationale: The certified informatics nurse (IN) has experience or interest in the area but no formal informatics preparation. This person has earned the credential RN-BC (Registered Nurse, Board Certified). Therefore, advanced graduate education in nursing informatics (or related field) is not required. The informatics nurse specialist (INS) has this education and may also hold ANCC certification. Both the IN and INS may work under a variety of different titles and in various settings.
