The Certified Bariatric Nurse (CBN) Examination is designed to assess the professional competence of practitioners of Bariatric Nursing. Achievement of a passing score on the examination is required for an individual to earn the Certified Bariatric Nurse (CBN) credential. This requires each candidate to demonstrate competence in all technical aspects of Bariatric Nursing commensurate with the standards established by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) for effective and safe patient care. All candidates and CBN certificants are expected to observe the ASMBS Standards of Conduct.

In 2006, a committee of the ASMBS completed a nationwide role delineation survey to determine the role of Bariatric Nurses in terms of the tasks required for competent job performance. The results of this study provided current information to delineate the appropriate content, scope and complexity for the CBN. Using systematic test development procedures, the CBN Examination Development Committee has developed the CBN examination to meet the specifications for testing as derived from the job analysis study.

The ASMBS has developed this Candidate Handbook to describe all aspects of the credentialing process and assist you in preparing for the examination. This handbook contains an overview of the examination, the admission policies, rules for the examination, and other pertinent facts you should know about the administrative policies governing the examination. It also describes the content and procedures for all parts of the examination. Sample questions are provided to help you become more familiar with the types of questions appearing on the comprehensive multiple-choice examination.

Beginning with the June 2007 administration of the Certified Bariatric Nurse Examination, the CBN credential will be issued for a limited term of four years. Certificants will be responsible for maintaining and updating their skills and knowledge through continuing education. In order for certificants with these time-limited credentials to maintain their certification, certificants may need to pass a version of the updated CBN exam based on a new role delineation survey to renew their CBN credential or participate in Continuing Education courses. Refer to the section on recertification for specific policies.
