Renew CEN (Certified Emergency Nurse)?

Published

Specializes in NP. Former flight, CCU, ED RN and paramedic..

Is there any value in holding on to the CEN (Certified Emergency Nurse) credential as an NP student with 1 year left of school and 20+ years of flight/ER nursing in terms of getting a job? I'm not interested in working in the ER as an NP, and quite frankly, I think all these nursing certifications are a joke anyway. I'm keeping my CFRN because I still get reimbursed for it. But I feel no employer is going to care about some silly CEN certification, nor even know what it is.

Thoughts?
