Hi!! Is there anyone else out there who is currently studying or is planning to take the CEN certification exam sometime in the next 6 months or so who would like to start a thread as a study and support group? Personally, I have just started this pr...

Another tip: I have numerous times been able to insert a foley by "feel" alone. The meatus of the urethra is easily felt, it is an indentation, very distinct. Some women's urethras are away from the clitoris and tucked up practically inside the va...

I am just following up on your post from October, how is the studying going? Have you taken the test yet??
