UT Medical Center Nurses Renew Certification Through American Association of Critical Care Nurses
Published: Sunday, September 23, 2007
Two nurses from the University of Tennessee Medical Center have renewed their Certified in Critical Care Nursing (CCRN) certification through the American Association of Critical Care Nurses. Wendy Franklin, MSN, RN, CCRN and Susan Marti, MSN, APRN-BC, CCRN have now maintained their CCRN certifications for more than a decade.
“Wendy and Susan are highly skilled nurses who put their experience and knowledge to use on a daily basis to benefit our patients,” said Sandi Madden, vice president of Emergency and Trauma Services at UT Medical Center. “Reaching and surpassing the ten-year mark for maintaining CCRN certification is a milestone that’s reflective of their ongoing commitment and dedication to providing outstanding patient care.”
About CCRN Certification and the American Association of Critical Care Nurses
CCRN certification denotes that nurses with this certification possess a distinct and clearly defined body of knowledge called critical care nursing. In order to obtain CCRN certification nurses need to have 1,750 hours of direct bedside care of critically ill patients before being eligible to sit for the certifying exam. CCRN certification is given in one of three patient population areas: neonatal, pediatric or adult.
The American Association of Critical Care Nurses is the world’s largest specialty nursing organization. The association is dedicated to providing our members with the knowledge and resources necessary to provide optimal care to critically ill patients. In addition to publishing a monthly newsletter, AACN publishes a scientific research journal, a clinical magazine for the practicing nurse and a quarterly series for advanced practice nurses.
The University of Tennessee Medical Center is a 581-bed, not-for-profit academic medical center, which serves as a referral center for Eastern Tennessee, Southeast Kentucky and Western North Carolina. The medical center, the region’s only Level I Trauma Center, is one of the largest employers in Knoxville.
