“The time is right for hospice and palliative care professionals to recognize our expertise. Never before has this type of care been spotlighted as it is in today’s healthcare environment. The public’s right to choose the focus and type of care they will receive with a life limiting illness and at the end of life has finally been established” (Why Certification," 2016, para. 1)

“Professional certification is a voluntary designation earned by individuals who demonstrate an exceptional level of competency, skill, and knowledge in their field” (Why ANCC Certification," 2016, para. 1)
