News from NAB (National Association of Long-Term Care Administrator Boards)

Please be advised that NAB is moving its office. Effective January 11, 2018, NAB’s new address will be:

NAB
1120 20th Street, NW, Suite 750
Washington, DC 20036-3441

NAB Introduces NABVerify, the home of NAB’s Continuing Education (CE) Registry service as well as the Health Services ExecutiveTM (HSE) application.

NAB is excited to share two new products for licensees: The CE Registry, a free CE tracking system, and the Health Services Executive (HSE) qualification. For more information on these new products, click here.

Attention Exam Candidates and Prospective Examinees: In July 2017, NAB transitioned its examinations to a new structure: examinees will need to pass a 100-item Core of Knowledge exam and a 50-item line of service exam.

NAB has released a Handbook for Exam Candidates that reflects the new exam structure. There is now a single handbook, covering the core exam and all line of service exam modules, instead of two separate handbooks covering NHA and RCAL (Assisted Living). The new handbook can be accessed here on NAB’s website.
