Certification is a powerful and positive achievement that highlights a nurse’s commitment to excellence.

What Education Do I Need to Become Certified?

To become certified in any nursing specialty, nurses who meet the academic degree requirements typically don’t need additional formal education. However, continuing nursing professional development is often required, and preparing for the certification exam is highly recommended. There are various review prep courses, study materials, and practice tests that can help you get ready for the exam.

To maintain and renew your certification, ongoing nursing professional development or continuing education is required. PESI provides many continuing education courses to help you maintain your certification and stay prepared for certification renewal.
