Необходимые условия для законной практики сестринского дела
Nursing credentials and certifications are the various credentials and certifications that a person must have to practice nursing legally. Nurses' postnominal letters (abbreviations listed after the name) reflect their credentials—that is, their achievements in nursing education, licensure, certification, and fellowship. The letters usually appear in the following order:
Highest earned academic degree in or related to nursing (e. g. "DNP" or "PhD")
Nursing licensure (e. g. "RN," "LPN")
Nursing certification (e. g. "CCRN")
Nursing fellowship (e. g. "FAAN")
Generally, credentials are listed from most to least permanent. A degree, once earned, cannot, in normal circumstances, be taken away. State licensure is active until retirement and otherwise only revoked in cases of serious professional misconduct. Certifications generally must be periodically renewed by examination or the completion of a prescribed number of continuing education units (CEUs). This is often called maintenance of certification. Nurses may also hold non nursing credentials including academic degrees. These are usually omitted unless they are related to the nurse's job. For instance, those with master's degrees usually do not list their bachelor's degrees (only the highest earned degree), and a staff nurse would likely not list an MBA, but a nurse manager might choose to do so. Some nurses who achieve a master's degree (MSN) leave the patient care aspect of nursing, and practice in a more managerial role. An example would be earning an MSN in healthcare risk management. Such a nurse, while still fully an accredited nurse, will likely become the risk manager for a hospital, working in health administration rather than direct care and perhaps even becoming the director or manager of the risk management department. In this role, he or she may never see another patient except while doing hospital inspections, or perhaps talking to a patient or the patient's family about a quality of care concern. In this role, the nurse becomes something similar to an auditor and a teacher of patient care quality and risk for the entire hospital staff. This nurse likely will also get the certification CPHQ: Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality. Nursing credentials are separated from the person's name (and from each other) with commas. Usually, no periods are placed within the credentials (e. g. "BSN" not "B. S. N.")
Квалификации и сертификаты медсестер – это различные документы, подтверждающие право на законную практику сестринского дела. Постномные буквы (сокращения, указанные после имени) медсестры отражают их квалификацию, то есть достижения в области сестринского образования, лицензирования, сертификации и членства в профессиональных организациях. Обычно буквы указываются в следующем порядке:

Как правило, квалификации перечисляются от наиболее постоянных к наименее постоянным. Степень, однажды полученная, в обычных обстоятельствах не может быть аннулирована. Государственная лицензия действует до выхода на пенсию и может быть отозвана только в случаях серьезных профессиональных нарушений. Сертификаты обычно требуют периодического продления путем сдачи экзаменов или выполнения установленного количества баллов за непрерывное медицинское образование (НМО). Это часто называют поддержанием сертификации. Медсестры могут также иметь квалификации, не связанные с сестринским делом, включая академические степени. Обычно они не указываются, если не имеют отношения к работе медсестры. Например, лица с ученой степенью магистра обычно не указывают степень бакалавра (только высшую полученную степень), а медсестра, работающая в отделении, вряд ли укажет степень MBA, в то время как старшая медсестра может это сделать. Некоторые медсестры, получившие степень магистра (MSN), переходят от непосредственного ухода за пациентами к управленческой деятельности. Примером может служить получение степени MSN в области управления рисками в здравоохранении. Такая медсестра, оставаясь полностью аккредитованной, скорее всего, станет менеджером по управлению рисками в больнице, работая в сфере здравоохранения, а не оказывая непосредственную помощь, и, возможно, даже станет директором или менеджером отдела управления рисками. В этой роли она может больше никогда не видеть пациентов, за исключением проведения проверок больницы или обсуждения вопросов качества оказания помощи с пациентом или его семьей. В этой роли медсестра становится чем-то вроде аудитора и наставника по вопросам качества и рисков ухода за пациентами для всего персонала больницы. Эта медсестра также, вероятно, получит сертификат CPHQ: Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality. Квалификации медсестер отделяются от имени (и друг от друга) запятыми. Обычно точки внутри квалификаций не ставятся (например, "BSN", а не "B. S. N.").

Сертификаты медсестер
В Соединенных Штатах и Канаде многие медсестры, выбравшие специализацию, получают в этой области сертификат, подтверждающий наличие у них экспертных знаний. Существует более 200 направлений и поднаправлений в сестринском деле. Исследования Института медицины показали, что у медсестер, имеющих сертификацию по специальности, отмечается более высокий уровень удовлетворенности пациентов и более низкий уровень ошибок в уходе за пациентами, связанных с профессиональной деятельностью. Законодательно не требуется, чтобы зарегистрированные медсестры (RN) имели сертификацию по определенной специальности. Например, для работы в отделении медицинской хирургии не обязательно быть сертифицированной медицинской хирургической медсестрой (CMSRN) – сертификацией Академии медицинских хирургических медсестер [AMSN], администрируемой Советом по сертификации медицинских хирургических медсестер [MSNCB] – и большинство медсестер, работающих в таких отделениях, не являются CMSRN. Однако сертификация повышает профессиональный уровень и делает медсестру более привлекательной для потенциальных и нынешних работодателей. Сертифицированные медсестры могут получать более высокую заработную плату по сравнению с незасертифицированными коллегами, хотя это случается нечасто. Некоторые больницы и другие медицинские учреждения готовы выплачивать сертифицированным медсестрам дополнительную оплату за работу в рамках их специализации. Кроме того, некоторые больницы могут требовать наличия сертификации у определенных медсестер, таких как старшие медсестры или ведущие медсестры. Сертификация придает медсестрам уверенность в себе. Больницы, соответствующие критериям Magnet, поддерживают сертификацию.
