Your CBRN Digital Badge
Digital badges share your credential with current and future employers, and give hiring managers and supervisors a quick and reliable way to verify your certification.
Digital Badging: The Best Way to Share Your Certified Success
What’s a Digital Badge?
Just like your hospital or organization badge shows patients, colleagues and supervisors who you are and what you do, your digital badge from BCEN identifies you as a certified burn nurse—and lets the world know that you are driven to excel. Read on to learn more about the value of a BCEN Digital Badge, and how you can claim yours and start sharing your success.
What are the Benefits of a Digital Badge?
BCEN offers the digital badge as an exclusive benefit to BCEN-certified nurses. Your digital badge is more than a logo or an email signature—it’s a valuable tool that can help you build the nursing career you’ve always dreamed of. Some of the benefits of digital badging include:
A customized logo identifying your credential, containing metadata that details your certification
An easy way to let current and potential employers learn more about your qualifications
An attractive, nationally recognized visual element you can add to your digital profiles
A quick and simple way for third parties to verify your certification
