Scholarly Paper Phase 1
Nursing certification plays an integral role in promoting positive patient outcomes. Certified nurses are able to make informed decisions and translate evidence-based literature to practice. Certified nurses often take the lead in preventing adverse events in health care environments such as patient falls, pressure injuries, and hospital-acquired infections. In an article titled “Making the Case for Nursing Specialty,” Blozen (2016) argues that nursing certification plays an integral role in improving personal satisfaction and patient care.
Assigned Article Summary
Nurses in the United States are increasingly pursuing certification in their specialty areas. According to Blozen (2016), certifications open doors for nurses to not only improve patient care, but to also increase their job satisfaction. The benefits of certification are far and wide, ranging from improved professionalism to increased job opportunities and recognition. Blozen (2019) asserts that specialty certification from a legit nursing organization supports and validates the nursing profession and personal professionalism. Once one acquires a nursing degree, they can validate their professionalism and experience by certification. As such, certification elevates and affirms one’s commitment to deliver high-quality work. Wk6 Assignment: Scholarly Paper Phase2
The process of acquiring certification is an elaborate one. Blozen (2016) identifies steps that nurses can take to acquire certification. For instance, most certifying organizations requires completion of an examination to obtain initial nursing certification. Thereafter, a nurse can continue education to renew the certification. American nurses have over 180 nursing specialty certifications to choose from. They may begin with self-reflection and research in order to identify one that meets their career goals.
Impact of Assigned Article Content on Future Practice
The proposed article provides prerequisites to attaining a professional status as a nurse. Accordingly, I have learned that in the face of renewed efforts by policymakers and health care professionals to improve patient care and safety practices, future nurses will have to acquire certifications as proof of competence in meeting such expectations. Therefore, the article provides more insights into the future benefits of certification in helping health organizations to gain a competitive edge over their rivals. In order to be a better proffesional, I will get the certifications needed to improve my abilities and skills. I think that getting a certification not only will be benefitial for myself, biut for the company I will be working for.
Conclusion
Seeking professional certification is one of the most important goals of a nursing professional. Certification benefits both a nurse and the organization that they work for. Certification can support a firm to differentiate itself from others and demonstrate that they have skilled and experienced nursing professionals. Despite the fact pursuing a certification could be hesitating, this can go a long way in improving a firm’s operational efficiency and positive patient outcomes.
