190319-N-IY469-015 – Cmdr. Aleah McHenry, an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, Board Certified, talked to NMCP nurses about the importance of certifications during the Certified Nurses Day event on March 19. “There is a basic standard of educational and clinical requirements in order for us to get licensed, and that’s a broad scope,” McHenry said. “For LPN or RN, whether it’s associate’s degree or bachelor’s degree, there is a basic licensure requirement. For certification you get another credential.”
