Women’s Health Care Nurse Practitioners (WHNP) and Neonatal Nurse Practitioners (NNP) are exceptional leaders in health care and continue to impact women’s and neonatal outcomes. This privilege requires NPs to be innovative, adaptive to change, and avid learners. The ever-changing world of technology, pharmacology and health care demands for life-long learning and professional growth to adequately advocate and provide quality care for patients. NPs help bridge gaps in health care, confronting challenges such as access to care, social determinants of health, and maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The dedication of these professionals to life-long learning shows their commitment to their field and their patients.
Florence Nightingale once said, “Let us consider that we are never done as nurses…we must be learning all of our lives.” Nightingale was a leader who demonstrated a passion for nursing with a commitment to speak out, educate and change health care. Nurse Practitioners share this same passion and demonstrate this same commitment to the patients and families they serve.
NCC honors all WHNPs who provide compassionate, high-quality care to patients throughout their lifetime (adolescence, reproductive age, and menopause) and all NNPs who care for the smallest and most fragile patients in the health care system. We are pleased to recognize all nurse practitioners who have demonstrated their expertise in their field and their dedication to life-long learning by becoming certified.
NCC recognizes the commitment and demonstrated expertise of these professionals and has awarded more than 215,000 certifications in the obstetric, neonatal, and women's health care specialties. Visit the NCC YouTube Channel to view and share PSAs showing the importance of certified nurses.
NCC has several stores through CafePress that offer various specialty sayings and products showing pride in certification.
