Abstract
Background: As a MBSAQIP Accredited Center, we are committed to the quality care we deliver to our metabolic and bariatric surgery patients. Our facility has a dedicated and knowledgeable nursing staff. However despite our dedication and commitment to ongoing education, none of our nurses are currently certified bariatric nurses (CBN). With nursing leadership support, we have witnessed an increase number of our nurses throughout the institution becoming certified in a variety of specialties. A recent change in nursing leadership on our bariatric surgery designated unit provided us the opportunity to begin the dialogue with our nursing staff on the benefits of certification. This resulted in 20 nurses expressing an interest to become certified bariatric nurses.
