Adding a certification to your adn/lpn

I was wondering if there are any legit online certifications that will help boost your career after school, such as some sort of telemetry certification or wound care certification, etc? Anyone think doing something like that matters?

    Wound care requires a license and usually documented or precepted wound care experience. Aside from CPR/BLS ACLS PALS, most nursing certifications are intended for licensed nurses usually with 1-2 years specialty experience

    Are you graduating with your ADN/RN or LPN. Some states have LPN "certification" courses to enhance a LPN resume like IV certification courses. Some states have these for RN....like California....who have these courses to take post graduation for IV, blood drawing, med administration, critical care....but most states do not offer these courses.

    Like Beachy says....you can consider a telemetry course ACLS, BLS, maybe PALS...but other certifications require you to be actively employed in the field and have a certain number of hours working in that specialty before you can sit for the exam.

    That who would recognize? Who's recognition are you looking for?

    Any time as a student will not count towards ANCC certifications. They require bedside experience as the RN
