Just wanted to offer a word of encouragement for those embarking on professional growth through the CEN. Just DO IT!! I just took it and passed. I am a horrible test taker and I answered 133/150 correctly. I studied for 2 months (a couple of hours a day on my days off) and took a practice test daily for 1 week prior to the test and consistently scored between 74% and 78%. I anticipated the worst case scenario on the actual exam but surprisingly found the actual CEN to be MUCH, MUCH easier than the practice exams. The questions are straightforward. LEARN the pitfalls by taking the practice exams...A MUST! I used the ENA CEN practice tests, Pocket Prep app, Jeff Solheim's online CEN course, and Sheheey's Manual of Emergency Nursing. I am an ER charge nurse and have been an ER nurse for 20 years. I highly recommend taking a CEN review from a reputable company. I found the online review to be more helpful because I could listen to it over and over. I'm also very visual and the online pictures and power points were great. Good luck!
