On March 19, Kaiser Permanente San Jose recognized the professionalism of our nationally certified nurses. Certified nurses have met rigorous national standards for knowledge, skills, and competencies within their chosen specialty. Additionally, national board certification signifies a nurse’s dedication to continuing education, evidence-based practice, and continuous skill development beyond basic licensure.

Kaiser Permanente has a dedicated Nurse Scholars Academy to help you achieve your goals as a professional. The Nurse Scholars Academy often offers free or reduced-cost review programs. Kaiser Permanente also has a fantastic Clinical Library that has many of the popular certification review books and/or eBooks available to borrow for free. Kaiser Permanente also has special programs available for nurses seeking their first initial certification. And then there is the reimbursement for the cost of getting your certification.

At Kaiser Permanente, certification matters.
