Certified Nurses Day

Tuesday, March 19, we celebrate our Boone Health Certified nurses and thank them for demonstrating professionalism, leadership, and dedication to excellence in patient care. 

Board certification of nurses plays an increasingly important role in the assurance of high standards of care for patients and their loved ones. Nursing, like health care in general, has become increasingly complex. While a registered nurse (RN) license provides entry to general nursing practice, the knowledge-intensive requirements of modern nursing require extensive education and a strong personal commitment to excellence. 

Boone Health encourages national board certification for all its nurses. Patients are encouraged to inquire whether there are certified nurses on staff when they visit a hospital or their primary care provider. There are many nursing certification specialties, such as medical-surgical, pediatric, pain management, cardiac vascular, oncology, hospice, case management, emergency nursing, critical care, and many others. Many nursing certification bodies exist to serve the full range of specialized nursing care offered in the contemporary health care system.

Congratulations to our 148 exceptional Boone Health Certified Nurses listed below:
