The diversity and complexity of nephrology is increasing and specialized knowledge and skills are required to practise this subspeciality. As a result, specialization and certification by the Canadian Nurses' Association (CNA) in nephrology nursing has become a reality. Specialization benefits patients, nurses and employers by ensuring high professional standards, providing an increased sense of professional achievement and innovative ways of providing quality care. Maintaining these high standards requires continuing education and recertification. A number of educational opportunities meet these needs. Recognition of speciality services would motivate more nurses to commit to nephrology certification. Specialization demands a greater commitment from the health care system, but provides significant dividends to both the health care system and the patient.
