Certifications provide proof that you know what you are doing. Sounds simple, yet this external validation that you have the skills needed to succeed can provide many opportunities for career growth and increased wages. If you are a student just starting out or a medical professional transferring from another industry a certification can make the difference.

There are several reasons why nursing certification matters. Achieving certifications demonstrates your seriousness in providing quality patient care. While going through the process of earning your certification you are exposed to the latest trends in the medical field. Expanding your specialized knowledge base also increases your confidence while providing patient care.

Certifications that offer opportunities for career growth:

·     Certified Coding Specialist Physician-Based (CCS-P)

·     Certified Patient Care Technician (CPCT)

·     Certified EKG Technician (CET)

·     Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT)

·     Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA)
