UAB Hospital encourages all levels of nursing, whether at the bedside, in management, or administration, to continue to grow professionally.
Professional growth and development is supported by numerous free CEU offerings, reimbursing fees payed for specialty certification, and providing opportunities for our nurses to have a voice in governance.
Professional Certification in your nursing specialty is highly regarded and encouraged at UAB Hospital.
Professional nursing associations and the American Nurse Credentialing Center (ANCC) offer many opportunities for Registered Nurses to move to higher levels of professionalism and proficiency in their field of specialty through these certifications.
Registered Nurses are offered reimbursement for the Professional Certification expense.
At UAB University Hospital, we encourage our nurses to be active participants in the events and decision making processes that affect them. Nurses have the opportunity to participate in not only hospital wide councils and committees, but also division focused and unit based committees.
Some of the hospital wide councils/committees include:
