Follow these steps to become a certified flight registered nurse (CFRN): Obtain a nursing degree, either a bachelor’s or associate’s degree, so that you can sit for the NCLEX-RN exam and become a registered nurse (RN). As flight nurses operate in demanding and constrained conditions, they can gain expertise and abilities in critical care, trauma, and emergency nursing. Before you may submit an application for certification as a flight nurse, you must have at least two years of professional nursing experience in these fields. Obtain numerous associated specialty credentials, such as the Neonatal Resuscitation Program, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, and Basic Life Support (BLS) certificates (NRP). These credentials prove your capability to offer patients of all ages and circumstances life-saving care. Submit an application to the Board of Certification for Emergency Nursing for the CFRN designation (BCEN). To take the exam, you must be eligible, pay the exam price, and reserve a date. You have three hours to complete the 180 multiple-choice questions on the exam. Topics, including general principles of practice, patient care, and transport operations, are covered in the exam. Succeed on the CFRN exam to earn your certification. To pass the test, you must receive at least a 75% on it. After taking the exam, you will get your score report and certificate within four weeks. The initials CFRN can be used to denote your certification after your name. Continue your study and certification through recertification. For your accreditation to be renewed every four years, you must complete at least 100 hours of continuing education and pay a recertification fee. If you would prefer, you can retake the test.
