“The more experience and education nurses have, the better equipped they are to address complex, challenging circumstances when they arise. I am CCRN certified!”    Well done to all my certified coworkers!

 “I became a nurse because it was my calling. I enjoy the interaction with my patients, caring for them, and seeing the positive impact I have in their care. Certification for me means professional growth and development in my career path, dedication to the profession of nursing, and a testament to my commitment as a lifelong learner to continue train and educate myself in the specialty area of Medical-Surgical Nursing. I successfully obtained my CMSRN in 2021.”

 “Obtaining my certification as a CMSRN was a stepping stone in my career path at the time. Having worked as a Medical-Surgical Telemetry Nurse for 5 years I was encouraged to test my knowledge and obtain a certification. It was a nice way to add some reassurance in the care that I was providing as well as a noted distinction amongst my peers. In 2018 I was successful in acquiring my CMSRN and am very proud of it.”

Why I became a nurse: “My grandma was a nurse. She inspired me. I too wanted to help make the world just a little bit better by helping people.” 
Why I became Certified: “For the NIH to achieve magnet status, for my team to achieve our yearly goals and for myself and my family-to prove I could!”
