Celebrating Certified Nurses Day™

March 19 is recognized as Certified Nurses Day™, a day dedicated to honoring nurses who have achieved the pinnacle of professionalism and excellence through specialized certification. The Certification Board of Urologic Nursing and Associates (CBUNA) is urging urology nurses to seize this opportunity to not only advance their careers but to also enhance the quality of care they provide to patients.

Why Certification is Important

Certification serves as a milestone for advanced practice nurses and allied healthcare professionals, symbolizing their commitment to ongoing professional development and acquisition of knowledge. By obtaining certification through CBUNA, urology nurses can showcase their expertise and dedication to high-quality patient care.

CBUNA President Christy B.

From a legal standpoint, CBUNA certification may legitimize your specific role in the increasingly complex delivery of high-quality healthcare."

The Advantages of Certification
