The CSRN™ is a program credential awarded upon successful completion of the Sedation Certification course. It demonstrates that the holder has met a rigorous, competency-based standard for safe sedation practice. The CSRN™ is a specialty program credential — it is not an ANA/ANCC national board certification — and is designed to support patient safety, facility standardization, and compliance with major accreditation bodies.
Beyond the core certification, we offer resources to help clinicians stay sharp and facilities stay compliant.

Mobile reference tool for cardiac rhythm recognition at the point of care.
Interactive simulator for practicing clinical decision-making in sedation scenarios.
Supplemental video content covering key sedation concepts and clinical techniques.
Opportunities for certified sedation professionals across clinical settings.
