Acceptable Formal RNFA Programs
The following RNFA programs have met specific criteria and are accepted by CCI as acceptable programs for CRNFA eligibility. The program acceptance plan began in June 1998. Any formal RNFA programs taken before that date will be allowed for CRNFA eligibility.
None of the programs below are affiliated with CCI, so they may have separate eligibility requirements for enrollment. Please note that the following list is subject to change without notice. Links have been provided where available.
