Certified Nurses Day

We Celebrate Certified Nurses Day annually on March 19. This day recognizes nurses who contribute to better patient outcomes through national board certification in their specialty. A certified nurse is considered to be a clinical expert, who demonstrates a level of knowledge validated by the credentialing boards. The complexity of the medical field is ever-growing and nurses strive for professional excellence and superior patient care in their desire to become certified in one or more of these areas. 

Why Get Certified?

• Certified Nurses are recognized and respected by their peers, patients, and supervisors.
• The nursing certificate validates the nurse’s mastery of skills, knowledge, and abilities.
• The higher the nurse’s education level, the better prepared they are to address even the most complex nursing situations.
• Certification helps nurses extend their knowledge and expertise. Moreover, helping them stay up to date with the latest developments in their specialty.
• This helps them build confidence in their professional skills and increases their credibility.
• Certified Nurses have access to more job opportunities, higher pay and better opportunities.
• Nursing certification demonstrates the nurses’ commitment to career development and dedication to patient care. Specifically, because it is a voluntary process, seeking specialty certification is often viewed as a reinforcement of the RN’s devotion to the field.

Certified Nurses, Unsung Heroes, Above & Beyond

There are more than 3.8 million nurses in America today. During a typical shift, nurses will walk between 4-5 miles. They have an intimate view of our lives as they sometimes provide care in the most difficult of times. Working with people who with illness and pain is not an easy task. However, they tend to be comforting and patient with people they treat. Seeing unsightly injuries and terminal patients, nurses tend to be upbeat and caring. Not to mention the stress, added hours, and fear of the unknown nurses faced during the Covid19 pandemic. Yet, overworked and understaffed, there they were, doing everything they could to help. Unlike other frontline workers, the gratitude we show these heroes can be slighted. Certified nurses, go above and beyond to voluntarily get certified and master their craft.
