Cited by 15 •
2014
A novel methodology that is employed for the treatment of recurrent glioblastomas is described. This treatment approach employs the application of alternating electric tumor treating fields (TTFields), known as TTF Therapy in combination with bevacizumab, a targeted agent that is currently FDA approved as monotherapy.

2010
A test battery (IMAP) for performing an in-depth assessment of auditory and cognitive abilities contributing to listening skills is described. It is quick to administer, child-friendly and free from linguistic confounds. Stimulus generation and protocol management are controlled via a software platform (IHR-STAR) to ensure replicable procedures.

FAQs
Requirements are credential-specific rather than identical across all ANCC pathways. Applicants may need to demonstrate defined education and practice experience, then provide documentation showing that they meet the selected credential’s standards. This structure allows certification to reflect preparation for a particular clinical or professional focus instead of treating all nursing roles as interchangeable.
The examination evaluates more than recall of isolated facts. It addresses evidence-based nursing principles, patient assessment, care planning, and patient management, linking knowledge to clinical decision-making. By covering these areas, the assessment examines whether a nurse can apply specialty-related understanding to organized, clinically relevant care rather than simply identify terminology.
Specialty alignment connects the credential with the nurse’s area of expertise and intended practice. Areas identified in the source include acute care, mental health, pediatrics, and nursing informatics, each representing a different professional focus. Selecting an appropriate specialty helps the resulting credential communicate a more precise picture of the nurse’s knowledge and clinical competence.
The process begins with selecting the relevant credential and reviewing its defined education and practice requirements. The applicant then submits documentation supporting those requirements and proceeds to a specialty examination. Successful completion demonstrates that the applicant’s preparation and performance correspond to the credential’s expectations for specialized nursing knowledge and clinical competence.
Certification supports accountability by connecting professional recognition with established expectations for nursing knowledge and patient care. The examination’s attention to assessment, care planning, evidence-based principles, and patient management gives the credential clinical substance. In practice, this can reinforce a nurse’s responsibility to provide care that is organized, informed, and consistent with accepted standards.
To employers and patients, certification can provide evidence that a nurse’s knowledge aligns with established standards for safe and effective care. It also identifies a recognized area of specialized expertise, such as pediatrics, mental health, acute care, or nursing informatics. The credential therefore communicates both professional preparation and a defined clinical or practice focus.
