Both my boss and educator have been hounding me to take my certification exam. I have been in PACU for ~5 years, so I am eligible to sit for both CAPA and/or CPAN.

I honestly just don’t care to do it.

The hospital covers the testing cost, but does not pay for study time, materials, or travel to the testing site.

The worst part is, they strongly encourage certification (we’re Magnet 🙄) but do not incentivize it financially.

Are you certified? Why or why not? Do you get paid extra once you’re certified?
