Are you certified in a nursing specialty? I downloaded the information for the Certified Medical-Surgical Registered Nurse (CMSRN) exam. I am considering certification. See this article on nursing spectrum that discusses the CMSRN exam. http://community.nursingspectrum.com/MagazineArticles/article.cfm?AID=12630
If you are certified, why did you become certified? What is your certification? If you are not certified, why not? Is it because we play the "alphabet soup" game with credentials and degrees in nursing?
I am a former pediatric nurse who switched to home health adult med surg and I have not looked back. I never really thought about being certified until I reviewed the American Journal of Nursing 2006 Career Guide and I have been a practicing RN since 1993.
