Nursing faculty seeking CNE® certification. Approximately 10,000 faculty have received the CNE® certification to date. In the past 4-5 years, the number of test-takers has increased steadily to 1,000 to 1,200 per year because requirements have been lowered such that the only requirement for candidates is that they hold a master’s degree in nursing education. As a consequence, pass rates have plummeted to approximately 50%, underscoring the need for a high-quality resource like the proposed book.
