Celebrating Certified Nurses Day
With Certified Nurses Day rapidly approaching on March 19, the Board of Certification for Emergency Nursing (BCEN) is excited to recognize the dedication of over 50,000 certified nurses across various specialties. This year, BCEN is enhancing its support for these professionals through new research initiatives, consumer education programs, recognition tools, and a special promotion.
A Day for Celebration and Acknowledgment
Certified Nurses Day is not just a date on the calendar; it’s an important occasion to appreciate the commitment of nurses who have achieved specialty certification. Janie Schumaker, the CEO of BCEN, emphasized the importance of this day by stating, "It's a time to ensure we are all doing our part to support these exceptional nurses and help consumers fully understand what it means to receive care from a board-certified nurse."
Receiving certification signifies a nurse's expertise and dedication to their field, fostering consumer confidence and enhancing patient care quality. Research, including a comprehensive study by BCEN, has shown a strong correlation between board certification and improved career satisfaction and success in nursing.
Key Initiatives for 2025
In celebration of Certified Nurses Day 2025, BCEN is unveiling several initiatives:
- - Certified Nurses Day Hub: This specialized page will provide information on the significance of nursing specialty certification, along with a heartfelt message directed at consumers, patients, and their families. The page will also include several free resources aimed at celebrating and recognizing nurses.
- - Research on Specialty Certification: BCEN is actively involved in research centered around specialty certification, currently completing a survey designed to gauge support for specialty certification among nurses in emergency settings. This year will also see the development of a leadership-focused survey, helping to advance the conversation around specialty certification.
- - Special Promotion: From March 12-19, BCEN will offer a $45 discount on initial certification, retest, and recertification fees, in addition to their interactive Certified Emergency Nurse (CEN) review course. This special offer is one of BCEN's most substantial promotions to honor their 45th anniversary while encouraging more nurses to obtain certification.
A National Campaign to Elevate Nursing Standards
As part of its ongoing efforts, BCEN is also launching its multi-year "Invest in Yourself" campaign, set to roll out during March. The series will feature board-certified nurses from emergency, trauma, and critical care transport practices throughout the U.S., who will share insights on professional development, high-quality patient care, and their personal journeys in nursing.
