Certifications on App?

Hi, I tried to find a previous thread on this but couldn't find much for my situation. I was wondering if I should include some of my certifications I've received through my work. I am BLS/ACLS certified as well as PCCN and CMC certified (nursing certifications). Just wondering if adding them would appear more like unneeded fluff to have them on my application or if it would be a testament to me goal to keep up with continued education? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Certifications only benefit your application if you used them. Mention them in the same space with the job or volunteer position where they were needed. Since you shouldn't use abbreviations, you may need to pare them down to fit the available space.
