I'm about 9 months into my ED job and am making attempts to keep learning and increasing skills and knowledge. I've attended a few day long seminars/workshops but think my next goals should CEN, CCRN, or TNCC.
Any advice on best ways to prepare for CEN or if I should go straight for CCRN? I want to stay in the ED and someday work trauma; my hospital is not a trauma center. I know I could learn a lot in the ICU but I just don't have a desire to work ICU. Will the CCRN still be just as helpful to me?
