Celebrate Oceanside Nurses On Certified Nurses Day

OCEANSIDE, CA — Certified Nurses Day shines a well-deserved spotlight on nurses who have sacrificed more than any other profession during the COVID pandemic. According to National Today, there are over 3.8 million nurses in America today. Not only is it one of the largest professions, but it is also one of the most significant and far-reaching in its impact on society.

Did you know there are over 200 nursing specialties and subspecialties? The complexity of the medical field is ever-growing and nurses strive for professional excellence and superior patient care in their desire to become certified in one or more of these areas. Today, let’s thank and recognize the work these men and women have done to obtain their professional certifications.
