Certified Nurses Day™ is an annual day of recognition for and by health care leaders dedicated to nursing professionalism, excellence, recognition, and service. On this day, employers, certification boards, education facilities, and health care providers celebrate and publicly acknowledge nurses who earn and maintain the highest credentials in their specialty.

The Mount Sinai Hospital and Mount Sinai Queens celebrated Certified Nurses Day on March 22 and 23, with a Town Hall, photo sessions for certified nurses, and resource tables at both hospitals so nurses who wish to be certified could learn more about requirements.

The Mount Sinai Hospital and Mount Sinai Queens achieved a combined certification of 44 percent, which met the desired goal for 2021. Deborah Feehan, MSN, RN-BC, Director of Nursing at The Mount Sinai Hospital, was very proud of this achievement,  as was Frances Cartwright, PhD, RN-BC, AOCN, FAAN, Chief Nursing Officer and Senior Vice President at The Mount Sinai Hospital.

“Mount Sinai Nursing applauds our certified nurses, who have made the commitment to achieve board certification in their specialty,” Dr. Cartwright said. “Becoming a certified nurse demonstrates professionalism and dedication to providing best practices to diverse complex patient populations. It is a testimony to our Mount Sinai nurses who live the tenets of our relationship-centered care model, advancing quality care and caring for our patients, families, care teams, and the communities we serve.”
