NCC Celebrates 50 Years of Certification Excellence and Certified Nurses Everywhere!

CHICAGO, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This year the National Certification Corporation (NCC) Celebrates 50 years of service to the community of obstetric, neonatal and women's healthcare professionals by providing a Second Chance Free Examination Promotion. The importance of the certified healthcare community and the care they provide cannot be overstated!

The last few years have shown us the continued importance of nurses and other health care professionals. Whether at a hospital, clinic, home, long-term care facility, or patient transport, we depend on knowledgeable, skilled, and compassionate professionals. Nurses are committed to giving safe, high-quality care no matter what the setting, and it is important for the public to know they can trust those caring for them and their loved ones during their most vulnerable times.

Certified nurses have demonstrated specialized knowledge and are dedicated to keeping that knowledge current. Their commitment to excellence and ongoing professional development is key to patient trust, and they are to be celebrated.

NCC honors all nurses and health care professionals who continue to validate their expertise and knowledge in their specialty. We salute these experts in their field.
