Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SCRN Exam?

The Stroke Certified Registered Nurse (SCRN) Exam is a specialty certification offered by the American Board of Neuroscience Nursing (ABNN). It validates a nurse’s expertise and knowledge in caring for stroke patients across various healthcare settings.

What are the eligibility requirements to sit for the SCRN exam?

To be eligible to take the SCRN exam, a candidate must meet two main criteria:

  • Hold a current, unrestricted Registered Nurse (RN) license in the United States, Canada, or a U.S. Territory.
  • Have a minimum of one year (2,080 hours) of experience as a registered nurse in stroke care within the last three years. This experience can be in direct patient care, administration, research, education, or as a consultant.

How many questions are on the SCRN exam and what is the format?

The SCRN examination consists of 175 multiple-choice questions, with 150 scored questions and 25 pretest questions that are not scored. Candidates have 3.5 hours to complete the exam, which is administered via computer-based testing at designated testing centers.

What are the main content areas (blueprint) covered on the SCRN exam?

The exam blueprint covers five core content domains related to stroke nursing:

  • Primary and Secondary Stroke Prevention
  • Stroke Pathophysiology
  • Acute Care Management (including hyperacute care)
  • Postacute Care
  • Systems and Quality of Care

How do I apply and schedule my exam?

You must apply online through the ABNN during one of their three annual application windows. Once your application is approved, you can schedule the exam at a PSI testing center or take it remotely with an online proctor.

How can I prepare for the SCRN Exam?

Effective preparation includes using official ABNN study resources, SCRN review courses, and Prephow SCRN practice exams. Reviewing stroke case studies and clinical guidelines from sources like the American Stroke Association also helps build confidence.

How do I maintain and renew my SCRN certification?

The SCRN certification is valid for five years. You can renew it by either:

  • Retaking and passing the SCRN exam, or
  • Completing continuing education (CE) hours and fulfilling clinical practice hour requirements (either 4,160 hours with 50 CE hours, or 2,500 hours with 75 CE hours).
