Certifications Are a Scam
I just recalled a horrible memory from a recent interview . “Do you have blahdy blah certification?†and I said no I do not. But what I wanted to say is I do not need any certifications. I already have 3 professional degrees and 38 years of experience. But she said that if I was hired ( which I won’t be) that I would need to take 70 class hours (at my expense) to get some nonsensical certification, within the year. Well I am not getting the job anyway; no fear. So here goes my next blog entry into HEALTH CHAOS.
So having degrees from major universities is not enough now. Because now some entrepreneurs have figured out how to provide special certifications to nurses, for lots of $. (yes; make money; that is the object). Anyone who has a degree from approved universities, big name places like the ones I went to, don’t need more certifications. That education (required for certification) is inherent in a professional degree program. This recent concept of certification is a scam.
