On Certified Nurses Day, March 29, 2022, Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center recognizes more than 400 members of our nursing staff who achieved and maintained national board certification during 2021 in their nursing specialty. Board certification is a key factor in the assurance of minimum standards of knowledge, skills and abilities in nursing specialty practice and contributes to better patient outcomes. National certification allows our nurses to be recognized for competence in their specialty.
"We appreciate what these dedicated nurses do to help us continue our growth as health care providers, shares Sheila Collier, MSN, RNC-MNN, Chief Nursing Officer at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center. "In doing so, it helps enhance the quality of care we provide and contributes towards better patient outcomes."
Congratulations and thank you to the following nurses who have achieved this milestone.
