CEN studying

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I've been a nurse in the OR for 2 years. I was a paramedic for 10 years prior to that. I'd like to get my CEN so I can have a better chance on getting into the ER (I've bern trying for 2 years to get into the ER but where I live it's diff to get in without prior ER experience).

With my paramedic experience do you think a CEN is obtainable? I have ACLS, PALS, 12 lead interpretation, and certified in moderate sedation. I was also thinking of TNCC or EPNC

It sounds like you have a lot of valuable experience that will help you on this exam. I am currently studying for the CEN also. I don't have the experience that you do though. I have 1 year of experience as an RN in a level II trauma center.

I'm currently using the book called "PASS CEN". I ordered it off of Amazon and so far the content is awesome! I'm learning a lot and can't wait to attempt to defeat this exam.

Good luck!

Thanks for your reply. I might order the book and just start looking at it.
