Certifications for Registered Nurses

171 certifications are listed for Registered Nurses (O*NET 29-1141.00) in the U.S. Department of Labor's CareerOneStop Certification Finder. 21 of them are flagged in demand — CareerOneStop derives that from its analysis of national job-posting data. 142 are tied directly to this occupation; the other 29 are related.

The order is CareerOneStop's, not ours: in demand first, then NCCA- and ANAB-accredited, then the rest. Downloaded July 2026. Records marked confidential or withdrawn at source are not published here. Listing is not endorsement, and this page is not advice about which credential to pursue.
