Versant-PNCB Partnership to Strengthen Pediatric Nursing
Monday November 2, 2009

 advertisement 



Versant and the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board have announced plans to launch a nationwide partnership designed to strengthen nursing care to children and families.

Versant’s RN Residency in Pediatrics is a structured, evidence-based RN residency that prepares new graduate nurses to provide safe, confident, and competent pediatric nursing care. The focus of the residency is to facilitate the transition from student to professional nurse through the accelerated acquisition of knowledge and expertise in clinical skills, critical thinking, and professional role assimilation.

The PNCB’s Certified Pediatric Nurse exam is the gold standard in competency assessment for this specialized role. More than 95% of all nationally certified pediatric nurses hold certification with the PNCB, and all PNCB programs are recognized by every employer and state board of nursing in the nation.

Initially created more than 10 years ago by an innovative team of nurses at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, Versant has evolved into a national company with more than 60 participating children’s hospitals and general acute care hospitals across the United States.

“Both Versant and the PNCB recognize certification as a desired outcome that will strengthen healthcare delivery to children and families,” Versant President and Managing Director Charlie Krozek, RN, MN, FAAN, said in a news release. “We are very pleased to partner with the PNCB.”
