Hi all! I'm wondering about the RNC certification and am hoping you can offer some information on it. I'm a postpartum nurse and really want to become an RNC eventually to progress my career down the line. I was trying to search online but couldn't find anything that made sense to me...maybe I'm not looking in the right places!
I am an RN with a Bachelors degree in Psychology (decided to become a nurse later on). I am starting a MSN program with a specialization in nursing education in September if all goes well.
Can anyone give me the breakdown on RNC aka RNC for dummies (I love those for dummies books LOL).
Do you also have a clinical ladder and is that $100 in addition to that? We get a point for the ladder for certification so a level III gets 7% over base and level II gets 3.5% they are working on a level IV guidelines right now for 10%. I get about $136 for clinical III per 72hr pay period but there are lots of things to get those points to get to the level an extra $100 would be nice....we don't get extra points for multiple certifications you also get a point for being on a committee but don't get multiple points for multiple committees and they don't weight the committees (I get the same point for being on P&P that meets monthly for 8 hrs as the dress code person that meets every now and then for an hour)
