One of the greatest badges of honor the Emergency Nurse can earn is the title of Certified Emergency Nurse (CEN).  This title is earned by few nurses and indicates to peers, patients, families and others that one has demonstrated an exceptional knowledge base in the field of Emergency Nursing.

The CEN Review Course is a one to three day course which helps prepare the Emergency Nurse for the knowledge needed to successfully navigate the CEN Exam.  Common content found on the exam is covered, as well as numerous practice questions which helps the participant not only determine their own readiness, but allows them to learn how exam questions are constructed and how best to conquer them.

A separate module is also available for nurses wanting to earn the title of Certified Flight Registered Nurse (CFRN).  Aside from the material covered in the CEN exam, nurses wanting to prepare for the CFRN can take an additional four hours of material which will assist them to prepare for questions specific to flight nursing.
