24 NURSING CERTIFICATIONS TO BOOST YOUR CAREER

By Barry Bottino

| February 06, 2024 10 minute read

As of 2022, 290,866 nurses received nursing certifications, according to the
American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Simply put, nursing certifications
are more than just credentials on a resume. They have a far-reaching,
long-lasting impact on nurses and patients alike.

Marianne Horahan, MBA, MPH, RN, CPHQ, NEA-BC, CAE, Certification and Customer
Service Director at the ANCC, said the benefits of certification start as soon
as nurses begin studying for the exam and continue to grow throughout their
careers.

While studying for an exam, nurses fill in knowledge gaps. Upon achieving
nursing certifications, the accomplishment impacts care and much more. 

“For nurses, there is a badge of pride in knowing they are competent within
their specialty,” Horahan said. She added that employers benefit because their
nurses are current on the latest advancements in their specialty practice and
patients benefit from having more competent and confident nurses. 

Nursing certifications also can spark a desire to continue on a lifelong career
development path to additional certifications. 

“A nurse holding multiple certifications can demonstrate a broader breadth of
knowledge and expertise,” Horahan said. 

For example, she explained, a nurse leader on an elder care unit could become
certified as a nurse executive and in gerontological nursing to demonstrate
competence in the clinical and leadership specialties. A nurse who is certified
in med-surg and psychiatric-mental health nursing can better navigate the care
of a med-surg patient with psychiatric comorbidities.


CERTIFICATIONS TO CONSIDER

So what are your certification options? 

Based on your specialty, the avenues for career development can be vast. 

In some cases, nurses who are members of a specialty nursing association can
earn a discount on the cost for certification or recertification applications.
And Nurse.com offers certification review courses that can help nurses prepare
for the exam.

We’ve compiled a list of 24 nursing certifications that can expand your career
options and your skill set.

   patients.
