STPH Honors 47 on Certified Nurses Day


STPH
CELEBRATES CERTIFIED NURSES DAY,
HONORS 47 BOARD-CERTIFIED NURSES ON STAFF 

 

COVINGTON – St. Tammany Parish Hospital celebrated Certified Nurses Day on March 19 by honoring its board certified nurses. 

The hospital encourages national board certification for all its nurses. There are many nursing certification specialties such as medical-surgical, pediatric, pain management, cardiac vascular, oncology, hospice, case management, emergency nursing, critical care and others.

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. A registered nurse (RN) license is the bedrock of general nursing practice.

The knowledge-intensive requirements of modern nursing make certification an important part of successful nursing careers.

Certified Nurses Day is an annual worldwide event dedicated to celebrating certification as a means to ensure high standards of patient care and to promote continuing excellence in the nursing profession. Initially proposed by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, the day honors the birthday of the late Margretta “Gretta” Madden Styles, an international pioneer of nursing certification who designed the first comprehensive study of nurse credentialing. 

The following STPH nurses are recognized for their professionalism, leadership and commitment to excellence in patient care:
