Fauquier Health is celebrating Certified Nurses Day on Monday, March 19 by honoring its board
certified nurses. The nurses named below are being recognized for their
professionalism, leadership, and commitment 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,
as well as a strong personal commitment to excellence by the nurse.
Fauquier 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; national nurse-certifying bodies should be accredited by
either the Accreditation Board for Specialty Nursing Certification (ABSNC) or
the National Organization for Competence Assurance (NOCA), or both.
Please
join Fauquier Health and the nation’s national nursing certification
organizations in honoring those hardworking, dedicated nurses for their
professionalism, and a job well done!
