Abstract

Many nurses desire to become certified but may have difficulty finding the time and resources to prepare for the certification examination. A free, on-site, medical-surgical certification review course was developed to meet the education and support needs for nurses to earn certification. This article describes a blueprint for course development and implementation of a certification review course at an institution.
