GREEN BAY – Sarah J. Burton, a registered nurse with Orthopedics & Sports Medicine BayCare Clinic, has earned orthopedics nurse certification from the Orthopaedic Nurses Certification Board.
“Sarah’s orthopedics nurse certification strengthens our already strong team,” says Dr. Robert Limoni, managing partner of Orthopedics & Sports Medicine BayCare Clinic. “We congratulate Sarah for her dedication in earning the ONC certification.”
“Becoming certified as an orthopedic nurse has been a goal of mine since I started working at BayCare,” Burton says. She joined BayCare Clinic in June 2007.
ONC certification is the only professional credential that recognizes orthopedic nursing expertise. It promotes excellence by encouraging professional development and clinical practice. It demonstrates commitment to education and to providing the highest-quality care to patients.
