Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital is proud to recognize the members of our nursing staff who currently hold professional nursing certification. National certification is a voluntary process that demonstrates advanced nursing knowledge and promotes excellence. The achievement of professional certification in a specialty practice area reflects a commitment by the individual nurse to ongoing professional development and to the profession of nursing. Nursing research has also identified that certification supports better outcomes for our patients. National certification affirms that our nurses have the advanced skills and knowledge needed to meet the challenges of practicing in an ever-changing healthcare environment.
