I don't understand why you say there are correct. I think you should be eligible for the SCRN exam. Unless your hospital will not reimburse you for it. Like you, I am a new Neuro nurse progressive care unit in a level 1 hospital, and I am trying to get certified. I called the American Board of Neuroscience nursing who are over the exam and they say that it's suggested a candidate has 2 years experience but it is not required. Now the CNRN has a ridiculous hour requirement of 4160hr (so 2 years). The SCRN says it is suggested for a nurse of 2 years but doesn't explicitly say it has to be 2 years. THE NVRN has a 1000 hr requirement, which would be around 7 months as an RN. Best of luck!
