"I absolutely want to seek certification as an ICU nurse when I get enough clinical hours in my field and two years under my belt. What kind of supervision and systems are in place to help me reach my goal here at JFK Memorial Hospital? I have started accruing my 30 hours of CEU credits in my specialty through the free CEU's offered by my ANA subscription."

"As a newly licensed RN, the only additional certification I have at this point is CPR. I do plan to obtain my ACLS certification in the next year and would be interested in sub-specialty certifications once I get established within a unit and team. Does your organization offer any certification programs?"

"A majority of my experience as an RN has been working with pediatrics. I currently possess an active ACLS and PALS certification. I would also be interested in obtaining the Pediatric Advanced Emergency Assessment, Recognition and Stabilization (PEARS) certificate in the near future. Are there any other certifications you prefer the candidate to have for this role?"
