Professional Development and Certification As you are aware, there are numerous nursing organizations available for professional development, community service, and information. There are also numerous certifications you can obtain through professional societies or organizations to improve a profession’s quality of practice, recognize an individual’s knowledge and skills in a specialty, and increase your earning potential, empowerment, and contributions to positive outcomes. In this week’s Discussion you will investigate various professional organizations’ websites and potential certifications offered. •When viewing professional organizations, view their mission, vision, and value statements. Examine their strategic plan, the impact it may have on your clinical practice, networking opportunities with fellow professionals, and whether or not a local or regional chapter is available for you to join. •When exploring certifications, examine the types of practice certification ANCC offers and other professional organizations. Probe the criteria for certification and determine your own readiness for becoming certified. •Develop a plan for joining one professional organization and achieving one certification.
