    Certified Nurses Day™ March 19th, 2011, Recognize Certified Nurses

    Celebrate Certified Nurses on March 19

    Certified Nurses Day™ honors nurses worldwide who contribute to better patient outcomes through national board certification in their specialty. A registered nurse (RN) license allows nurses to practice. Certification affirms advanced knowledge, skill, and practice to meet the challenges of modern nursing.

    Every March 19, employers, certification boards, education facilities, and healthcare providers celebrate and publicly acknowledge nurses who care enough to earn and maintain the highest credentials in their specialty.

    Inspired by Dr. Margretta 'Gretta' Madden Styles, RN, EdD, FAAN, a pioneer in nursing certification, Certified Nurses Day is the perfect opportunity to invite all nurses to advance their career by choosing certification. Learn more...

    Was asked to wear this little AACN pin that says 30 years of CCRN certification. Hold TNCC certification too but I guess the ENA isn't into campaigning that much.

    Everyone is trying to promote, drive membership anyway they can. Surprised we're not all getting bumper stickers, pins and signs for our front lawns . . . .to promote our associations.

    What if we don't WANT to be Certified ANYthing?

    Heck, we're nurses and should already be considered 'certified'.

    Depends on where you are in your career. If you like most of us who will be working for the next 20, 30, 40 years (the way Social Security is going), you'll want as many feathers in your cap as possible.

    As fast as things change, certifications are one of the few ways an employer can tell if you're "possibly" qualified to do something.

    The more you can do, the more marketable skills you have, the more choices of jobs and duties and pay.

    Don't knock certifications, they open doors and are usually worth the hassle if you use them.

    I ain't certified, either. Out here, Cert. doesn't necessarily mean beans.

    I'd hate to say it, but jobs ain't too plentiful out here, and the bottom line is the Almighty $$$.

    In this economy, you're right. However that is going to be changing quickly as Baby Boomers turning 65 start filling up hospital beds in record numbers. Then we'll be back in a nursing shortage and jobs will be a dime a dozen. It is only a few years away
