A
All states require a periodic renewal of the nursing license. States vary in the requirements to obtain and maintain nursing licenses. Some states may require continuing education credits to renew yearly licenses, but other states may consider continuing education as optional for profes-sional growth. Accreditation is the voluntary process for schools to maintain educational stan-dards. Certification is voluntarily obtained after the graduate has become licensed and meets the criteria to be certified by the respective organization, such as the Critical Care Nurse's Associa-tion, which when certified allows nurses to use the credential CCRN after their names.
