BACKGROUND
RESULTS
TABLES/FIGURES
METHODS
CONCLUSION
• Nurses holding specialty certification is associated with improved
patient outcomes; effect on mortality and failure to rescue in
general surgery patients (Kendall-Gallagher, 2011)
• Evidence indicates that specialty certification or higher degree has
a direct effect on improving the quality of patient care and results
in shorter hospital stay, satisfied customers, and decreased
readmission (Sanfort & Best, 2013, Hughes, 2013, Kendall-
Gallagher, et al, 2011)
• Secondary gains are low staff turnover and highly satisfied
consumers (Sanfort, 2013)
• To encourage nurses to seek specialty certification, healthcare
systems can actively eliminate biases and anxieties in pursuing
specialty certifications
The objectives of this unit based project are to:
1. Number of nurses are holding or are planning to take specialty
certification exams
2. Measure awareness of specialty certification and its importance
3. Identify the barriers for specialty certification
4. Identify motivators for nurses to take specialty certification
5. Provide staff education on orthopedics specialty certification
6. Measure the effect of staff education
7. Provide an avenue to create a comprehensive program for nurses
wishing to take orthopedic specialty certification examination.
REFERENCES
A descriptive quantitative design using paper & electronic survey
methodology to gather data from nurses.
The setting: Orthopedic Units of the Vanderbilt University Medical
Center (VUMC- specifically 6RW/10S).
• An IRB approval from VUMC
• A pre-intervention survey was sent to 50 RN respondents.
• Intervention: A 10-minute educational presentation “An Orthopedic
RN Journey Towards Specialty Certification”
• Post intervention survey was sent to the respondents to measure
the effectiveness of the education presentation.
There will be a follow-up survey after 6 months.

• Higher number of nurses felt job promotion was not a factor (p<.004)
• Among younger RNs, job promotion is a factor (p<.003)
• Younger nurses are encouraged by increase in salary (p<.004)
