Atlantic General Hospital 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 Atlantic General Hospital and the nation’s national nursing
certification organizations in honoring those hardworking, dedicated nurses
for their professionalism, and a job well done!
