Certified Nurses Day – March 19th
Back to physical health resource hub
Brooks Rehabilitation celebrates Certified Nurses Day on March 19 by honoring all of the board-certified nurses on staff.
Specialty certification of nurses plays an increasingly important role in maintaining high standards of care for patients and families. Nursing has become increasingly complex. While a registered nurse (RN) license provides entry to general nursing practice, the knowledge-intensive requirements of specialty nursing requires extensive education, and a strong personal commitment to excellence by the nurse.
Brooks Rehabilitation encourages certification for all its nurses. Many nursing certifications exist, such as Rehabilitation (CRRN), Wound Care (WCC), Heart Failure, medical-surgical and case management.
Please join our Nursing Leadership Teams and the nation’s national nursing certification organizations in honoring these hardworking, dedicated nurses for their professionalism and a job well done!
