Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CTRN exam?

The CTRN, or Certified Transport Registered Nurse, is a national certification from the Board of Certification for Emergency Nursing (BCEN). It’s designed for nurses who provide critical care during ground transport. Earning it shows you’ve got advanced knowledge and clinical judgment specific to transport nursing.

Which nursing specialties are best suited for pursuing the CTRN certification?

Most candidates work in emergency, critical care, or transport settings. They’re RNs who thrive in mobile, resource-limited situations stabilizing patients, managing ventilators, and coordinating care en route. Many pursue CTRN certification to formalize that expertise and open doors to leadership or educator roles.

What topics does the CTRN exam cover?

The exam tests a wide range of skills and knowledge areas, including:

  • General principles of transport nursing
  • Patient resuscitation and stabilization
  • Trauma and medical emergencies
  • Care for special populations (pediatric, neonatal, etc.)
  • Transport safety and communication

What is the best way to prepare for the CTRN exam?

Start by reviewing the exam blueprint from BCEN so you know what’s covered. Many nurses use Prephow practice questions and full-length mock exams to build confidence. Focus extra time on your weaker areas, and review the reasoning behind each answer not just whether it’s right or wrong.

What career advantages come with earning the CTRN credential?

Beyond personal growth, CTRN certification can strengthen your professional credibility, qualify you for advanced roles, and often lead to higher pay differentials. It also signals commitment to excellence in a high-risk, specialized field of care.

Why does BCEN recommends two years of experience before taking the exam?

Two years give nurses enough exposure to the unpredictable nature of transport medicine—balancing advanced clinical skills with on-the-move decision-making. Experience helps translate textbook concepts into quick, safe interventions under pressure.

What score do I need to pass?

BCEN uses a scaled scoring system, but in practical terms, you’ll need to answer roughly 92 out of 150 questions correctly to pass. The exact number may shift slightly as questions are refreshed.
