What’s Nurse Gwenny’s advice on passing the CEN?
Study everything in the CEN breakdown
Go slow. Don’t cram the weekend before, but study regularly, in small doses leading up to your CEN test date
Make your own CEN flashcards. DO NOT BUY flashcards made by someone else!!!
Did I mention… the CEN breakdown?!?!
Pick up a copy of Certification Test Prep for the Emergency Nurse
If you’re a subsciber to The Nurse Gwenny Library, bring your questions to the monthly Live Q&A Sessions
You didn't become an emergency nurse because you wanted an easy job. You chose a specialty where every shift feels like a new adventure ranging from back-to-back rapid fire fast track patients to 1:1 care of a super sick patient requiring your best critical care brainpower!
One minute you're comforting a grieving family...the next, you're managing a crashing septic patient, recognizing subtle signs of a STEMI, reducing a shoulder dislocation, calculating a pediatric medication dose, or identifying the early signs of increasing intracranial pressure.
And somehow, the Certified Emergency Nurse (CEN®) exam expects you to know all of it.
That's exactly why this book exists.
Most test prep books focus on helping you memorize facts. This one focuses on helping you understand them.
Written by emergency and flight nurse educator Nurse Gwenny, this comprehensive CEN® study guide follows the BCEN exam content outline and covers every topic tested on the certification exam. Inside you'll find more than 300 practice questions, detailed answer rationales, memorable explanations, and the same engaging teaching style that has helped thousands of nurses finally have those "Ohhh... now I get it!" moments. Nurse Gwenny's educational approach centers on understanding the why behind the answer because true understanding lasts far longer than memorization (added bonus: she's really funny!)
Whether you're preparing to sit for your CEN, renewing your certification, or simply looking to become a stronger emergency nurse, this book was designed to help you comprehend concepts instead of memorizing a long list of facts.
Inside Nurse Gwenny’s CEN Test Prep Book you'll find:
• 305 practice questions modeled after the CEN® blueprint
• Detailed rationales with helpful illustrations
• Coverage of every BCEN exam topic area
• Easy-to-understand explanations of complex concepts
• Real-world emergency nursing insights that go beyond test-taking
Passing the CEN® exam can open doors, but understanding emergency nursing can change the way you practice for the rest of your career.
Let's go beyond the right answer and learn the reason why.
Because great emergency nurses don't just know what to do...They understand why they're doing it!
Nurse Gwenny has tons of free nursing and critical care transport content on her social media channels.
