Certification in Nursing Specialty
Nursing Specialty Certification/Recertification Reimbursement Program
The value of certification in a nursing specialty in influencing the delivery of safe and effective care is undeniable. While licensure measures entry-level competence of a new nurse, certification validates a nurse's specialty knowledge, experience, clinical judgment and critical thinking.
The Western Pennsylvania Hospital supports and encourages RNs in the demonstration of specialized knowledge and skills by reimbursing nurses for the cost of the examination fee to obtain certification or recertification in their nursing specialty, according to the reimbursement policy.
