What credentials does your cath lab encourage? Our Hospital is pushing for all cath lab RN's to be take the CVN exam offered by ANCC. I have also heard of another CVN certification through the ACCN. What is the difference and why are there 2 CVN certifications? Are there any professional journals for cath lab nurses? Our hospital is reluctant to reimburse for RCIS certification since it is not considered a "nurse only" certification. Any thoughts or comments? Thanks
