title: Increasing nurse certification rates using a multimodal approach.
abstract: The attainment of specialty nursing certification can be beneficial for nurses, patients, and the healthcare organization alike. Barriers may prevent nurses from seeking specialty certification, which may impede healthcare organizations from increasing certification rates among nursing staff. The purpose of this article is to share the process and outcomes of 1 medical center's multimodal plan designed to prepare and support nurses seeking specialty certification in pediatric nursing practice.
