The National Association of Boards of Examiners for Long Term Care Administrators (NAB) is a non-profit membership organization composed of the fifty state licensing boards and agencies responsible for licensing nursing home and assisted living administrators. NAB assists these state boards and agencies to carry out their statutory functions as they license administrators.
NAB contracts with the Professional Examination Service to administer the national NAB examinations in nursing home administration and assisted living administration.
NAB performs a number of additional functions for state licensing boards and agencies such as developing and recommending standards for consideration and adoption by states. NAB also operates the National Continuing Education Review Service (NCERS) which has approved the continuing education units found on this website.
Every five years NAB conducts a job analysis study to determine the content areas an entry level long term care administrator should know. The results of the job analysis constitute the five national domains of practice which are the subjects of the courses taught through this website.
NAB was incorporated in New York in 1970.
