Why bother getting certified?
Certification is an important credential for the home healthcare nurse. Expertise in specific areas of nursing practice is documented by peers, thus attesting to the professional's expertise and qualifications. Home healthcare nurses should be encouraged to become certified in their area of practice and to educate their clients and colleagues about the importance of national certification.
