Recertifying your credential demonstrates your continued commitment to lifelong learning and a high level of knowledge that contributes to effective patient care and safety.
Why Recertify?
- Certified nurses are educated, engaged, and committed to high quality care.
- Certified nurses have increased confidence as excellent practitioners and many employers and patients recognize the value of certified nurses and demand highly trained nursing staff members.
- Your credential distinguishes you from the field.
The need for certified nurses specifically trained in orthopaedics is growing as the general population ages and requires more healthcare services.
