To promote and recognize nurses who have achieved a professional development milestone through specialty board certification, a wall was created to display their names and photos in the Perioperative department. The wall features the names and credentials of nurses who have earned nationally recognized certifications in perioperative care, including CNOR and CPAN distinctions.

Each credential reflects a nurse’s commitment to advancing their clinical knowledge, improving patient outcomes, and upholding the highest standards of surgical care.

The wall also fosters a culture of aspiration among staff. New and experienced nurses alike are encouraged to pursue certification, knowing their achievements will be recognized publicly. The wall is a visual celebration of excellence for staff and patients to admire. As the wall continues to grow, it stands as a testament to the Oakland Medical Center’s commitment to professional development and quality care.
