Certification Premium Nurses certified in a specialty area by a national organization and working in that area of certification shall be paid a premium of one dollar ($1) per hour, provided the particular certification has been approved by the Chief Operating Officer, or designee, and further provided that the nurse continues to meet all educational and other requirements to keep the certification current and in good standing. If a nurse is involuntarily transferred to a position in which the nurse is not working in the area of certification, the nurse will continue to receive this premium until the nurse's certification expires.

An approved certification list shall be established by mutual consent between the PNCC and the Chief Nurse Executive or designee and shall be updated on an annual basis.
