The PNCB Wall of Distinction

Showcase the dedication of your CPNs® and CPNPs® with our free poster!

Creating a PNCB Wall of Distinction tells your nurses that you value their commitment to certification and explains this important professional milestone to the public. Once framed, our elegant poster highlights the certification achievement of your nurses and serves as the focal point of your Wall of Distinction, which can be surrounded by photos of your PNCB-certified nurses or their individual wall certificates.

To create your Wall, please email info@pncb.org for a free poster (or several if you have multiple pediatric units). If you'd like to create a plaque for your nurses, we can send you logo art files and text to create your own.

After your Wall of Distinction is up, we encourage you to share photos of your Wall, your nurses, or a short article for posting on the web, just like the following hospitals have done:

• Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center
• Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics

Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center

To celebrate a 100% On-site Exam pass rate in her unit at AIMMC, Professional Practice Leader Loida Monteclaro, RN, BSN, CPN thought a Wall of Distinction would be a wonderful way to recognize her colleagues. Ms. Monteclaro personalized each new CPN's certificate by attaching their photos, then framed them along with the Wall of Distinction. Loida notes, "This wall has become famous to all departments!"

Their hospital also honored them with a party and recognition during National Nurses Week. Ms. Monteclaro adds, "We are so proud of what we have accomplished. Because of this, other nurses from other units of the hospital are inspired to get their certification." Congratulations to each of you, and special thanks to Ms. Monteclaro for recognizing her colleagues with their Wall!

Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics

With over 400 PNCB-certified nurses, Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics of Kansas City, Missouri has a lot to be proud of! This hospital went the extra mile to create plaques for several units that list the names of each CPN® on staff, and a framed Wall of Distinction Poster is proudly displayed with the plaques. Children's Mercy Hospital offers On-site CPN® Exams and increased compensation for those who earn certification. Many thanks to Angie Williams, RN, BSN, CPN, who serves as the Nurse Manager for Children's Mercy Hospital's Burn Unit, for sharing her facility's Walls with us! Here is one unit's Wall and two CPN® group shots:
