Certified Nurses Day! March 19, 2018

Hello Everyone! 

I didn’t want tomorrow to go by without me say Happy Certified Nurses Day to all Certified Nurses!!!  I am proud to be certified in Critical Care, Cardiac-Vascular Nursing and a certified Nurse Executive.  My certifications mean that I am committed to providing excellent care to my patients and practicing at the top of my profession.  What are your certifications?  What does being certified mean to you? Share your responses with everyone in the comments.  Also send pictures of your celebrations. AACN  would love to see how you celebrate each other. 

Certified Nurses Day is an annual worldwide event dedicated to celebrating certification as a means to ensure high standards of patient care and to promote continuing excellence in the nursing profession. Initially proposed by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, the day honors the birthday of the late Margretta “Greta” Madden Styles, an international pioneer of nursing certification who designed the first comprehensive study of nurse credentialing. 

Have a wonderful Day of Celebration!!
