Why Should You Get Certified?

Certification shows that you have taken that extra step to validate your knowledge and skills. The Medical-Surgical Nursing Certification Board (MSNCB) encourages you to take the time to show your colleagues and patients your commitment to excellence in medical-surgical nursing practice.

Nurses who have earned their Certified Medical-Surgical Registered Nurse (CMSRN®) credential will tell you how proud they are of their achievement and how the credential has helped them succeed professionally.

"AMSN supports certification as a commitment to safe, evidence-based, holistic care which results in desired patient outcomes."
