June 12, 2022 Certification Central President’s Message

Hello everyone and happy summer!

I do hope that you are able to take time this summer to relax and reflect on your nursing career and the value of your certification. The past two years have been incredibly exhausting, and while things are slowly returning to normal, all of us are still facing challenging times in our careers.

A former mentor of mine used to say, “better days are coming” and I know that is a true statement still today. Please remember that the great work you are doing matters to our patients and their loved ones.

Happy spring to everyone and I wish you a wonderful Nurses’ Week coming up in May! I love this time of year as we begin to see a renewal of life and resources in nature. Flowers are blooming, leaves are returning, butterflies are merging, and there is a lot of positive energy in the universe.

This is such a phenomenal time of the year. And it looks like we may be finally getting a reprieve from COVID! Please still be cautious, but we can all be hopeful that the worst is finally behind us.

Time is such a strange construct. How many of you feel, like me, that 2021 flew by? I mean, it’s the end of 2021, and it feels like it was just yesterday we were all just so happy to put 2020 behind us as we looked forward to a better 2021.

And yet, at the same time, it felt like this year would never end. We struggled with so much this year, with ongoing COVID surges around the globe, political unrest, combating vaccine disinformation, and more.

February 08, 2021 Certification: Just Do It!

This year AMSN is celebrating its 30th anniversary. It is exciting to think of everything AMSN has accomplished in the past 30 years and to look ahead to the future of medical-surgical nursing. On a personal note, it is astounding to me that I have been a part of AMSN for half of those 30 years. That is nearly as long as I have been married! My relationship with AMSN started when I became certified and has continued to support my personal and professional growth for most of my nursing career
