Sandy Bodin Reflections: NNCC Is Vital to Kidney Care Excellence
Sandy Bodin, MA, RN, CNN, and outgoing President of NNCC, believes that nurses, as a whole, are aware that the more certifications existing among a team, the better patient outcomes will be. The purpose of certification in nursing, Bodin shares, includes protecting the public from unsafe and incompetent providers, giving consumers more choices in selecting health care providers, distinguishing among levels of caregivers, and giving better-trained providers a competitive advantage.
