"What I enjoyed the most about the CNRN series was how painlessly I was able to complete it with my busy schedule. With this series, there are so many topics to cover in such a short period of time, but, thankfully, the content was delivered systematically and was so well organized that the information was easy to digest." Amanda H., RN, BSN, CCRN, CNRN

"The Nurse.com Neuroscience Certification Review Focused CE Series was the primary resource that I used to prepare to take the CNRN certification exam. It covered all of the areas that appeared on the test, was easy to follow, and touched on each topic with just the right amount of detail. The live webinars offered a chance for the nurses to ask questions at the end. The moderator/speaker was more than accommodating. Because of this review, I was able to pass on my first attempt. I highly recommend it!" La-Von M., MBA, BSN, RN, CCRN-CMC, CNRN, SCRN, PCCN
