Most of the specialty certifications either require (with a letter from a supervisor) or recommend 1-2 years RN experience in that specialty. RNC requires it, CEN recommends it, CCRN I honestly can't remember. I took the neo versions of RNC and CCRN.
Hey, wanted to let you know I got into an RN program here in San Antonio. It will be very interesting working and going to nursing school at the same time.. . .
