It
Is Time to Renew My CNRN. What Am I Supposed to
Do?
All nurses who hold the Certified Neuroscience Registered Nurse
(CNRN) credential must have it renewed every 5 years and can do so
by taking one of two paths—retaking the CNRN certification exam or
obtaining a specified number of continuing education units (along
with neuroscience nursing work experience). As you prepare to
recertify, learn from one nurse’s experience of sifting through
continuing education requirements.
