Overview of one-day class
- Bridges the gap between real-world ED knowledge and the knowledge needed to ACE the CEN
- Uses lecture format with PowerPoint, interactive workbook, and question review
- Uses complaint-based protocols that build on current knowledge and skills
- Presenter is Patricia Ann Bemis, RN CEN, author of the Emergency Nursing Bible.
 "The staff loved the one day format. They felt the book and workbook were also very helpful with examples of the test question format. The additional information on how to further study for the exam was extremely useful and most appreciated by the participants. The hesitation to take the exam was reduced by Pat’s practical and straightforward approach. A most enjoyable program!”
