Am unsure what test you are asking about. What is CMSRN? Yo have posted in the CRNA forum.

Can someone help me with a question? I am a CMSRN but I recently left the hospital where I obtained my certification in. I just got in the mail a letter stating that my membership is about to run out for AMSN (Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses). To reapply for membership is $84.00/yr. My question is .... Is it required to be a member of the AMSN to be a CMSRN? My previous employer took care of all this stuff and now I am unsure if this is something I must continue to keep my certification. I really don't want to spend the money on this membership because I have taken a new position in oncology. --- although I want do the CE to keep my credentials.

I am a CMSRN. Took the exam last summer. I used Lippincott's Review For Medical Surgical Nursing Certification. It was very helpful. I was a member of AMSN. I got all of my hours for recertification already and let my membership lapse. I assume I will be able to re-up my certification in 4 years without trouble.
