To earn the new specialty certification, eligible RNs and APRNs must pass a national exam that covers all aspects of the care continuum for burn patients, spanning from prehospital care through aftercare, education and family support, according to an Oct. 17 news release from BCEN.
BCEN began developing the Certified Burn Registered Nurse certification in the summer of 2021 in collaboration with the American Burn Association. The American Nurses Association recognized burn nursing as a speciality in August 2020.
BCEN recommends two years of experience as a burn nurse before taking the exam, though it’s not a requirement.
