📣 Partnership Announcement

We’re excited to announce a new partnership between CerTracker and the RI State Nurses Association (RISNA) to help Rhode Island nurses stay organized, professionally prepared, and focused on what matters most.

Through this partnership, RISNA members will receive access to CerTracker Wallet Professional and professional development resources as part of their membership benefits.

Members will be able to use CerTracker:

🟢 Organize licenses, certifications, and professional credentials
🟢 Track continuing education in one place
🟢 Receive reminders before credentials expire
🟢 Access available continuing education opportunities
🟢 Maintain a portable professional record throughout their careers

Professional credentials follow nurses throughout their careers, but managing them has historically meant navigating disconnected systems, emails, folders, and spreadsheets. Together, RISNA and CerTracker are making that experience easier and simpler.

We’re excited to work with RISNA and Executive Director Raquél Pérez to support Rhode Island nurses at every stage of their professional journey.
