What certifications do you have???

Specialties Emergency

Hi all,

I've officially survived my first year in the ED with good reviews from my supervisor. I'm ready to take the next step in my career. I do ultimately plan to go back to school for NP (I have a BSN now), but finances and other life events say it might be best if I wait a little while for that. In the meantime however, I would like to go after some certifications to broaden my knowledge base as well as make myself more marketable. I have no intention of leaving the ED, even as an NP, so I want to do things that are related. I know the biggest cert for ER RNs is CEN, and I also have my eye on SANE. So my question is, aside from those two, what other certs are out there for ER RNs?? I appreciate any feedback.

Specializes in EMS, ED, Trauma, CEN, CPEN, TCRN.

BLS (instructor), ACLS, PALS, ABLS, NRP, TNCC, ENPC, CEN, and CPEN. And some assorted EMS stuff as well -- Virginia EMT-P, NREMT-P, ITLS, AMLS. I'm kind of an education junkie...

BLS (and BLS instructor) ACLS, PALS, EMT-B, HazMat, Firefighter I, Incident Command 100,200,700,800. I am thinking about doing TNCC next. I am in the process of doing my CCRN course now.
