What happens now?
Step 1: Look for your welcome to NPNP email, which includes:

- A final, countersigned agreement for your records
- Confirmation of contacts
- How to request free materials
- How to request lists of your PNCB-certified staff for your records or special recognition events
Step 2: Spread the news!
- Announce the benefit at special events like Certified Nurses Day or National Nurses Week.
- Post information about the benefit on your intranet.
- Email eligible nurses, announce it at review courses, and hand out our free materials at events.
- Discuss the benefit with new hires and during evaluations.
- Ask enthusiastic CPNs to be certification coaches. Invite them to apply for our CPN Champion program.
- Contact info@pncb.org any time for free materials specific to No Pass, No Pay or to brainstorm ideas.
- Ensure nurses get prepared with these CPN exam resources.
Understand the Nurse Candidate Timeline
Nurses often begin applying online at a special link soon after you announce the benefit.
Within 2 weeks after we approve their application, they are notified of eligibility notification via email. This means they are ready to schedule their exam.
They are assigned a 90-day testing window and are prompted to schedule their exam at a date, time, and location of their choosing.
Step 3: Look for your candidate Interim Activity Report via email.
Once nurses apply, you will regularly receive this list of candidates who have used your code. If you see a name which should not be listed, please contact us within two business days for resolution. Also contact Human Resources to see if the person in question has documented a name change.
Monthly Invoicing Begins
Nurses may be actively testing at this time. Our database will be compiling passing exam fees for your monthly invoices.
Step 4: Your Financial Responsible Party receives monthly emailed invoices.
Your hospital will have 30 days to remit payment for passing exam fees only.
Step 5: Renewal.
Approximately two months before your current agreement expires, you will be notified of your overall pass rate for the contract year and your renewal status.
