Transplant nursing is a meaningful and incredibly rewarding career in the healthcare industry. And medical professionals who have already met the criteria for CNA, LPN, RN or Nurse Practitioner are already on their way to meeting the criteria for a transplant nurse.

Specialized training is required to perform your best as a transplant nurse. Many employers also require some type of transplant nurse certification. The American Board for Transplant Certification offers several certification programs such as Certified Clinical Transplant Coordinator (CCTC) and Certified Clinical Transplant Nurse (CCTN).

There is also the International Transplant Nurses Society which offers core curriculum and continuing education for transplant nurses. If you are not currently trained and experienced as a transplant nurse we recommend you review our transplant nurse job listings to determine what requirements employers have. Some medical institutions are willing to provide the training and education you need.

Yes, it takes time but you'll change lives as a transplant professional and enjoy generous financial and personal benefits as well.
