Certification, for me, symbolizes a commitment. I was able to show my LTC-CIP to the surveyors for our annual survey and they felt more confident with our policies. -- Amy Melna, LTC-CIP, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC

Becoming certified shows a commitment to best practices in infection prevention and control and improved care regardless of the facility type in which one practices. -- Lynn Fine, PhD, MPH, CIC, FAPIC

Being a CIC to me means that I am considered as a subject matter expert to my peers and within my organization. -- Latasha Richards, MSN, RN, CIC

I have stayed an IP because every day I am able to use my clinical skills, knowledge, creativity, impact and influence to make a difference. -- Jeannie Sanborn, RN, BS, MS, CIC

Absolutely go for it! Sure, it's work, but so worthwhile.
