Wondering what nursing certifications you should get?

Depending on your nursing specialty area of interest, there are several types of certifications to help propel your nursing career forward. 

Most nurses I know start with one, maybe two certifications, but a while back I came across a viral LinkedIn post about an amazingly talented nurse named Casey Green. 

Casey, also known as Critical Care Casey, is a registered nurse and critical care nurse working in the ER, the ICU, transport and pre-hospital settings. 

One of the reasons why I knew I had to connect with Casey was because she has QUITE the impressive certification collection!

I’m talkin’ – BSN, RN, CCRN, CTRN, CFRN, CEN, TCRN, CPEN
… The list goes on!

Casey is even the 85th nurse to hold all five Board of Emergency Nursing certifications – impressed yet?

In today’s episode, Casey shares her nursing journey and specialty experience with us! We discussed:

• How many certifications Casey holds as a registered nurse.
  
• Casey’s “cert sprint” and how she passed her certifications so quickly.
  
• What it’s like working between the ICU and ER.
  
• The typical day & employment criteria for a critical care nurse working in transport.
  
• The aftermath of Casey’s viral LinkedIn post – What opportunities Casey succeeded in (Hello, First Lady! 👀 ) following her viral moment.

And tons more. I know this episode is going to resonate with many of you!

Signing off today’s blog post with a motivational quote –

“It’s the will, not the skill that makes anything possible”.

Remember – You can do anything that you desire!  What you will, will be.
