Just one year after introducing the world’s first burn nursing specialty certification, the Board of Certification for Emergency Nursing (BCEN) proudly reports that nearly 500 nurses in both civilian and military settings have achieved the Certified Burn Registered Nurse (CBRN) credential.
Burn injuries are among the most devastating and complex medical challenges, and research highlights the importance of specialized burn care expertise in ensuring high-quality treatment and optimal patient outcomes. To attain the CBRN certification, registered nurses (RNs) and advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) must successfully navigate a rigorous examination that evaluates their advanced clinical and professional knowledge across all phases of burn care.
