There are numerous benefits to obtaining your CCRN. Indeed, the benefits extend not only to yourself but also to your employer and your patients.
From a personal perspective, CCRN certification is another step in growing your professional career and portfolio. It gives credit to all those hours and years you have dedicated to caring for very ill patients, and it also shows that your knowledge is extensive.
Of course, there are other personal benefits aside from having your expertise recognized by your patients and colleagues. For example, CCRN nurses often earn a higher salary than nurses without designation. They also have more opportunities for promotions to leadership positions and acceptance into graduate programs.
