Local Critical Care Nurse Recognized for Career Milestone
Rosemarie Tamunday-Casanova, Administrator of Right Accord Private Duty-Home Health Care, a licensed Home Health Agency providing in-home care assistance to seniors in Sarasota, Florida received notional recognition for reaching a significant milestone in the nursing profession: Since 1990 she has consistently maintained CCRNR Certification offered through AACN Certification Corporation. Rosemarie is one of 1,432 CCRNs being honored this year by the corporation and the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses for 20 years of continuous certification.
CCRN certification is an expert credential reserved for those who meet rigorous practice, continuing education and testing requirements in their specialty; it is not the same as an RN license, which assures the public that a nurse has the required entry-level knowledge and skills to care for patients. Certification has been linked to fewer medical errors and increased job satisfaction and confidence. Hospitals that encourage and support their nurses in becoming certified demonstrate to their patients a high level of commitment to creating an exceptional care environment and, to their nurses, a culture of professionalism and retention imperative in today’s healthcare environment.
