The nurse workforce consists of people with varying levels of education and experience in specialty areas (Institute of Medicine, 2015) . Nurses often seek to distinguish clinical and professional expertise through specialty certification (Bonsall et al. , 2018; Garrison et al. , 2018) . As the healthcare environment is becoming more complex, some healthcare leaders are advocating for specialty certification as a national standard to increase nurses' professional standing and prepare nurses to better meet the specific needs of the patient populations they serve (Stucky & Wymer, 2020) . Board certification demonstrates excellence and recognition of the specialized knowledge, skills, and clinical judgement validated by the achievement of standards identified by nursing specialty to promote optimal health outcomes (Board of Certification for Emergency Nursing, 2018) .  \nThe first large-scale, rigorous study examining the value of emergency nursing certification to nurses, their patients, and their employers, “The Value of Certification Study,” was conducted by the Human Resources Research Organization (HumRRO) and commissioned by the Board of Certification for Emergency Nursing (BCEN®) (Medsker & Cogswell, 2017) . Study results were based on survey data from over 8,800 certified and non-certified emergency nurses and over 1,000 emergency supervisors. Outcomes of value from Certified Emergency Nurse (CEN) certification to emergency nurses included the following: higher annual pay, job advancement, employability, and nursing self-efficacy, even after controlling for level of education and years of experience. These results support prior studies that reported specialty certifications in nursing are associated with increased nurse satisfaction and empowerment (Fitzpatrick, 2017; Kitto et al. , 2017; Van Wicklin et al. , 2020) . In the “Value of Certification Study,” employers of nurses with CEN certification reported multiple aspects of greater technical performance, accuracy, and ethical behavior for those certified than those not certified (Medsker & Cogswell, 2017) . Nurses with specialty certification are more likely to leverage their knowledge and power to make independent clinical judgments regarding the need for patient vital signs and the impact of variation on patient care (Burchill and Polomano, 2016) . Further, engaging nurses with CEN in process improvement efforts to reduce hemolysis in blood samples is beneficial as these nurses are likely better informed on evidence-based practices (Burchill, Seballos, Reineks & Phelan, 2021) . Researchers found a possible linkage of specialty certification with improved patient outcomes (Boyle, 2017; Coelho, 2020; Fitzpatrick, 2017; Gill, 2018; Kitto et al. , 2017; Park et al. , 2018; Whitehead et al. , 2019) .  \nCertification has additional meaning for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) as licensure and certification are often linked, forcing certification as a mandate for entry into practice ( Russell, 2017; Bonsall et al. , 2018; Hoyt, 2017) . The APRN Consensus Workgroup supports the link between licensure and certification (Advanced Practice Registered Nursing Consensus Work Group, 2008) . The Consensus Model for APRN Regulation outlines the standard accreditation, education, certification, and licensure  \nthroughout the U.S., with the goal of attaining full practice authority for APRNs (Advanced Practice Registered Nursing Consensus Work Group, 2008) .  \nENA Position  \nIt is the position of the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) that:  \n1. Specialty certification validates advanced knowledge, competence, and commitment to excellence in emergency nursing.  \n2. Attainment of emergency nursing certification contributes to the delivery of safe, effective, quality care.  \n3.
