NIHSS Certification Question/Advice

Hi Everyone-

I had an interview for ICU today and the manager told me to go online and get my NIHSS certification but she really didnt say where or how to do this. I have research this on google and many pages come up, some offer to sell DVDs so I am confused. Is this certification still free or is it $10 like she told me?

Which website offers this certification? I really appreciate your help and assistance.

Thanks
It used to be free, but now it's $10 like she said. You can find the "course" on the American Stroke Association website. Hope that helps!

It's free. I believe it's NIH website http://www.nihstrokescale.org/ I got certified about a week ago

I did mine last year through the American Stroke association. It was free. Speaking of I should be renewing it.

I was looking around the web today to get mine, and saw the free site is what my facility uses, NIHSS - English - NINDS : Home. From what I could gather, AHA or American Heart Assn charges $10, but they do have an iPhone version for testing.

I just completed "NIHSS-English Group A-V3 - 1st Certification". Is this all I need to have my NIHSS certificate? I saw there's Test B, C, etc. as well on the NINDS website but I'm not sure if those tests are necessary at this time. I'm interviewing for a neurosciences stroke unit next week and want to be prepared with the right certifications. Thanks!

Thank you! That was really helpful information!

This has been driving me nuts all of yesterday, as I did my training in November or December I think it was, but I handed the certificate to one of our senior nurses to file in my portfolio & it has disappeared....therefore I have been trying to reprint the certificate, but can't find the site I did my training on!
