American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation (AHNCC) · Verified against the currently linked Holistic Nursing Certification Examinations Handbook for Candidates and Application, approved July 2025, and the HN Core Essentials and Competencies dated January 23, 2025; reviewed October 10, 2026. The handbook supplies approximate domain weights; Appendix B of the competency document supplies corresponding ranges and is described in its introduction as preliminary. Neither document states a separate HN-BC examination effective date. The workbook label matches AHNCC's HN-BC examination level; the assigned slug is preserved.
