Once again, Milwaukee has been chosen as a certification test site for October 2007. If you've ever given thought to becoming certified, I encourage you to do so. Having those initials, CGRN, after your name gives such a feeling of pride and accomplishment. It also shows your patients that you care enough to go the "extra mile". Just ask any of the people listed above. Go to www.cbgna.org to download the application forms. Some employers will either pay for the exam or reimburse you afterwards. If your facility does not do this, keep in mind that both WSGNA and CBGNA have scholarships available.
