DDICU Nurses Successfully Complete Certification Exam

March 5, 2010 – The DDC/DDSL would like to congratulate DDICU nurses Corinne Dolan and Regina Stransky for successfully completing the CCRN (Critical Care Registered Nurse) certification examination for nurses who care for acutely and critically ill patients. Achievement of a formal credential such as CCRN offers additional validation of a nurse’s advanced clinical knowledge and tangibly demonstrates a commitment to patients and families, employers and colleagues.

"I am very proud of Corinne and Regina's successful achievement in attaining their CCRN Certification in Adult Critical Care," said DDICU/DDPCU Nurse Manager Christina Zensen. "This speaks to their commitment, passion, and personal will to providing the best possible care for the patients in our Digestive Disease Intensive Care Unit."

“The importance of clinical certification to the health and well-being of patients in the U.S. has been well-documented,” according to Wanda Johanson, Chief Executive Officer, AACN Certification Corporation. “Research studies have specifically linked CCRN certification to higher levels of clinical knowledge, experience, and skill. These studies have found that CCRN certified nurses were particularly motivated to maintain clinical excellence even in rapidly changing critical care environments. You can be very proud to know that nursing professionals of this caliber represent your facility.”
