RN Certifications?

Hello,

Is there a list/website anywhere of all the certifications you can obtain as an RN?

I checked out the ANA website but didn't really find what I was looking for. I am doing a group project on the topic for school. (Posted here vs. on the student board- I figured nurses might know better.) We have thought of ACLS, PALS, Med-Surg, CCRN, but I'm sure there's a ton more out there. Any resources for this would be super helpful!

P.S. I work on a trauma & surgical specialty unit as a PCA, so I would be especially interested in anything trauma or surgical related!!!

THANK YOU! :)

    ANCC is the most established but not the final word on certs. For example the hospice and palliative certs are regulated by NBCHPN. There are other boards as well.

    Does anyone know if you need your BSN for certifications such as wound or nutrition?

    No, and working on certifications, in my opinion, is much more valuable than what you learn from a BSN.
