Eligibility criteria for BCEN examinations are applied equally to all applicants regardless of race, color, creed, gender, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, age, marital status, or gender identity. All testing sites comply with all federal, state, and local laws regarding use of public buildings, ensure accessibility required under the ADA, and accommodate applicants with disabilities on an individual basis without additional cost. For the complete text of BCEN’s nondiscrimination policy, consult the BCEN website at  \n[www.BCENcertifications.org](www.BCENcertifications.org).  \nHow BCEN Exams Are Developed  \nBCEN recognizes the importance of producing psychometrically sound examinations, emphasizing three principal processes: test construction based on a content outline that has been developed from data on a role delineation study (RDS), sound item development practices, and post-administration analysis.  \nBCEN exams are based on data from an RDS, also known as a practice analysis or job analysis study. BCEN conducts these studies every 4 to 5 years to ensure that the content on its exams reflects current practice. As part of an RDS, survey instruments are distributed to emergency nursing professionals (or flight registered nurses or ground transport registered nurses or trauma registered nurses) throughout the United States. The data gathered from the survey responses guide BCEN exam committees in identifying tasks and knowledge areas on which to base the content outlines for specific BCEN exam programs. The integrated concepts, cognitive level distribution, and the number of questions specified within each content area for each BCEN exam program are deve","cbCaics7M8oYrPPY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaics7M8oYrPPY","pdf",1290048,45,"English","# Nondiscrimination Policy\n# How BCEN Exams Are Developed\n# Eligibility Requirements\n# How to Apply for a BCEN Exam\n# How to Schedule\n# Rescheduling\n# Failing to Report for a Scheduled Exam\n# Exam Refunds\n# Testing Accommodations\n# Testing Facilities\n# Identification Requirements Admission\n# Procedures\n# Security Procedures During Admission\n# What to Expect\n# Security Procedures During the Exam\n# Computer-based Testing Instructions\n# Taking Breaks During the Exam\n# Candidate Comments\n# Exam Results and Personal Information\n# Confidentiality\n# Maintenance of Records\n# Cancellation of Candidate Scores\n# How Exam Results Are Reported\n# Pass/Fail Result Determination\n# If You Pass the Exam\n# If You Do Not Pass the Exam\n# Recertification\n# CEN Content Outline\n# CEN Sample Questions\n# Combined CFRN and CTRN Content Outline\n# CFRN Sample Questions\n# CTRN Sample Questions\n# CPEN Content Outline\n# CPEN Sample Questions\n# TCRN Content Outline\n# TCRN Sample Questions","[{\"question\":\"What steps are required to apply for a BCEN exam?\",\"answer\":\"The handbook describes how to apply, including how to schedule the exam and related administrative procedures.
