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.
肾脏病学的多样性和复杂性与日俱增，从事这一亚专业需要专业知识和技能。因此，加拿大护士协会（CNA）对肾脏病护理进行专业化认证已成为现实。专业化认证通过确保高专业标准、增强专业成就感以及提供创新的优质护理方式，使患者、护士和雇主均受益。维持这些高标准需要持续教育和重新认证。有许多教育机会可满足这些需求。对专科服务的认可将激励更多护士致力于获得肾脏病学认证。专业化需要医疗保健系统做出更大的投入，但会给医疗保健系统和患者带来显著回报。
