Frequently Asked Questions
What is the TCRN certification and who should pursue it?
The Trauma Certified Registered Nurse (TCRN) is a specialty certification that validates expertise in trauma nursing care. It's designed for registered nurses working in emergency departments, trauma centers, ICUs, and other settings where they care for trauma patients.
What are the eligibility requirements to take the exam?
- To apply for the TCRN exam you must hold a current, unrestricted RN licence.
- While BCEN recommends trauma nursing experience (e.g., about 2 years in the specialty) and relevant training, these are suggestions rather than strict mandatory minimums in many cases.
What are the main content categories covered on the TCRN exam?
The exam covers six major content domains across the trauma continuum of care:
- Clinical Practice: Head and Neck
- Clinical Practice: Trunk
- Clinical Practice: Extremity and Wound
- Clinical Practice: Special Considerations (e.g., shock, psychosocial issues)
- Continuum of Care for Trauma (e.g., injury prevention, pre-hospital care, rehabilitation)
- Professional Issues (e.g., trauma registry, disaster management, ethical issues)
How do I register for and schedule the TCRN exam?
Create a BCEN account online at BCEN website, submit your application with RN license details, and pay the fee. Once approved (typically within days), you'll have 90 days to schedule at a PSI testing center. Walk-ins are not allowed—book early as seats fill quickly.
How long is the TCRN certification valid, and how do I renew it?
Certification lasts 4 years. Renewal options include earning 100 continuing education hours (with at least 50 in trauma nursing) or retaking the exam. You can also combine 50 CE hours with 1,000 practice hours in trauma nursing. Track your progress via your BCEN account.
How can I prepare effectively for the exam?
Preparation strategies include:
- Reviewing the official exam blueprint/content outline from BCEN.
- Using Prephow TCRN practice questions and mock exams that simulate the actual testing format.
- Focusing on high‐yield trauma topics (e.g., ATLS algorithms, hemorrhagic shock, pediatric trauma, burn injuries).
- Developing good test‐taking strategies (e.g., read questions carefully, eliminate obviously wrong answers, watch time, avoid overthinking)
What are the benefits of earning TCRN certification?
Benefits include:
- Formal recognition of trauma nursing expertise and commitment to the specialty
- Enhanced credibility among employers and peers
- Potentially improved career opportunities, job satisfaction, and perhaps salary/advancement
- Contributing to improved patient outcomes in trauma care settings
