Demonstrate Your Achievement

The digital badge makes this prestigious credential sharable to employers, peers, and patients as proof of your dedication to the pursuit of lifelong learning and the delivery of quality health care.
Anyone can verify your certification by clicking on your badge, displaying information such as the issue date and the requirements met to earn it. This verification allows you to demonstrate to healthcare organizations, employers and the public that you have professionally met national performance standards relevant to your role.

Frequently Asked Question
What is a badge?
A badge is a digital representation of your certification achievement. It is a web-enabled version of the credential which can be verified in real-time, online.
How does my certification get displayed as a badge?
You receive a digital badge image from our partner, Credly. Once you visit the Credly website and claim your badge, you will have the option to share this digital image that is linked back to detailed metadata on the Credly website. This enables you to manage, share and verify your competencies digitally.
What are the benefits of a badge?
Representing your skills as a badge gives you a way to share your expertise online in a way that is simple, trusted and can be easily verified in real time. Badges provide employers and peers with evidence that you are an exceptional nurse who has passed a rigorous exam covering the core areas of infusion nursing.
Where and how can I share my badge?
You can share your badge directly from the Credly Platform using a unique URL to LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook; over email; embedded in a website or in your email signature.
Login to Credly, click on your badge, look for SHARE button on top right
What if I don’t want my badge to be public?
You can easily configure your privacy settings in the Credly Platform. You’re in complete control of the information about yourself that is made public.

What kind of security is behind the badge to protect my credential from being copied or used?
Badges are digital image files that are uniquely linked to data hosted on Credly’s platform. This link to verified data makes them more reliable and secure than a paper-based certificate. It also eliminates the possibility of anyone claiming your credentials.
