Designation and Credentials (Nova Scotia College of Nursing - Self Employed Practice: Guideline for Nurses)

Using non-granted designation, titles or abbreviations is both confusing and risky for the public.

In order to present an accurate image to the public, NSCN does not authorize the use of terms such as expert or specialist, or credentials that have not been obtained through licensure or granted through a certification program.

In order to be certified, the following criteria must be met:

• a national or international board or association oversees the certification program and grants the certification
• an applicant demonstrates the competencies required by the national or international board or association
• the applicant has formally demonstrated their competencies, i.e. by taking an exam
• the applicant maintains their competence through formal methods, e.g. re-examination or developing a portfolio every few years.

IMO, do your research because completing a training course that is accredited through the CNA does not qualify a provider to use the term 'certified'. There are certification exams in aesthetic medicine available outside of Canada.
