Certification 101: the pathway to excellence.
Certification in a nursing specialty validates that patient care providers have attained the knowledge and skills necessary for competent practice in the particular specialty, achieving a higher degree of professional competence than the minimal requirement for licensure. Certification yields benefits to the individual nurse, the profession, and the public, including improved patient safety and a commitment to lifelong learning.
