Why Nursing Certification Matters (with Elizabeth Scruth)

While March 19 was Certified Nurses Day, being certified is relevant throughout the year.  In 2020, the American Board of Nursing Specialties (ABNS) conducted a national survey that found 75% of adults thought it was important for all nurses to have a specialty board certification in a relevant field. But why is it important to nurses? In this episode Nurse Alice speaks with Elizabeth Scruth, the chair-elect of the AACN Certification Corporation to discuss the benefits of nursing certification and how to overcome common obstacles to becoming certified, and the importance of being a part of your professional nursing organization.
