Specialty certification for burn nursing will be available in 2023. This review outlines the path taken from specialty recognition by the American Nurses Association to the Certified Burn Registered Nurse certification. Clinical expertise, knowledge, skill, mastery of professional issues, and competence are hallmark features of a nurse specialty certification. A review of resources will illustrate the evolution of burn nursing practice with the development of burn nursing standards, competencies, and characteristics of the professional burn nurse. Resources are identified which outline the value of specialty certification, providing an overview for the impact of burn nursing certification on professional development, nurse satisfaction, and patient outcomes. Burn nurses play a key role in the care and recovery of the burn-injured patient. Since 2017, members of the burn nurse community have taken steps to confirm the role of the modern burn nurse and document standards. As a community, we are now poised to advance our specialty one step further and support the development of a national burn nurse certification examination. This paper provides a historical account of the path taken for burn nurse specialty recognition and national certification to date. The value and impact of specialty certification in general is outlined, thus providing a comprehensive overview for the value and impact of certification on professional development, nurse satisfaction, and patient outcomes.
