Passed the CEN exam today!

Specialties Emergency

Published

I realize 2 years of RN experience is recommended before taking the CEN exam, but I just couldn't wait any longer! :D I've been a paramedic since 2003, and I've been working in the ED since 2005, but less than one year as an RN (my "anniversary" is in July). I took the CEN today and passed, by a comfortable margin, too. Woo hoooo! I'm so happy!!

Specializes in EMS, ED, Trauma, CEN, CPEN, TCRN.
Like c-diff phil, I've been kinda studying. How much time did you actually put into studying before taking the exam?

On and off over the last couple of months.

Dr. Lunah? NEVER! :D

Yeah, it's me. But I'm doing my BSN through Chamberlain College -- EC was yankin' my chain about accepting my statistics credit (they wouldn't tell me if they'd accept it until I paid my enrollment fee -- ummmm, NO), so I went elsewhere.
