The Certified Flight Registered Nurse (CFRN) credential is a specialized certification offered by the Board of Certification for Emergency Nursing (BCEN). It is designed for registered nurses who work in the unique and challenging environment of flight and critical care transport. The CFRN certification demonstrates a nurse's expertise and commitment to providing high-quality care in aeromedical and critical care transport settings, where they often face extreme environments and complex medical scenarios.
To qualify for the CFRN exam, BCEN recommends that candidates have at least two years of experience in critical care or emergency nursing. This experience is crucial because the exam covers a broad range of topics, including patient care in flight, trauma, and medical emergencies, as well as understanding the effects of altitude and flight physiology on patients. The CFRN exam consists of 175 questions, of which 150 are scored, and candidates must achieve a scaled score of approximately 70% (109 correct answers) to pass. The test is administered in English and has a time limit of three hours.
Earning the CFRN credential signifies that a nurse has the advanced knowledge and skills required to provide critical care in flight, enhancing their professional reputation and potentially opening doors to more career opportunities in aeromedical transport. Maintaining the certification requires continuing education and periodic recertification, ensuring that CFRN-certified nurses stay current with the latest best practices and medical advancements in flight nursing.
