HAPPY CERTIFIED NURSES DAY!!

AACN-Region 4 recognizes the unique contributions of its certified nurses on Certified Nurses Day, March 19, 2022. Certified Nurses Day is an annual worldwide event dedicated to celebrating certification as a means to ensure high standards of patient care and safety. 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. 

Certification validates a nurse’s specialty knowledge for practice in a defined functional or clinical area of nursing. Currently, nearly 133,000 certified acute and critical care nurses hold AACN Certification Corporation’s credentials, including CCRN, CCRN-K, CCRN-E, PCCN, PCCN-K, ACNPC, ACNPC-AG, CCNS, ACCNS-AG, ACCNS-P, ACCNS-N, CMC and CSC.

In addition, certification benefits patients and their families, validating that the nurses caring for them have demonstrated experience, knowledge and skills in the complex specialties of critical or progressive care.

Thank you to every certified nurse for your exemplary care and commitment to excellence and dedication to patients and families. You are confident, inspired and CERTIFIED.

Let's celebrate you!

Best regards
