OAK BROOK, Ill., Oct. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- New pediatric emergency nursing and trauma nursing specialty review courses will be released October 5 on the award-winning BCEN Learnย nursing professional development platform, the Board of Certification for Emergency Nursing (BCEN)ย announced today. In conjunction with Emergency Nurses Week (Oct. 5-11) and Pediatric Nurses Week (Oct. 6-10), purchasers of either course will also receive the corresponding practice exam at no additional cost during a limited-time offer.
Developed and maintained by the BCEN Learn team,ย the CPEN Review Course: Essentials of Pediatric Emergency Nursing and TCRN Review Course: Essentials of Trauma Nursingย support RNs preparing to sit for the Certified Pediatric Emergency Nurse (CPEN) and Trauma Certified Registered Nurse (TCRN) exams.
