Attaining the Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurse (CRRN) certification validates your professional standing as an experienced rehabilitation nurse with a documented level of knowledge in this specialized area of practice. Rehabilitation nursing practice includes care management and treatment of conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, aging issues, MS, diabetes, co-morbidities, cardiovascular illness, arthritis, and spinal cord injury.

The Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurse exam consists of 175 multiple-choice questions with 25 of these questions for pre-testing purposes for possible inclusion on future exams. The RN is allotted 3 hours in which to complete the exam. The majority of the Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurse exam tests the RN’s knowledge on patient care and assessment, along with nursing interventions, for the rehabilitation patient. A large portion of the exam also contains questions pertaining to working with the medical team to facilitate a smooth transition for the patient to re-enter the community after undergoing in-patient rehabilitation.

The CRRN credential requires nurses to have experience in rehabilitation nursing and pass an exam validating a documented level of knowledge of rehabilitation nursing practice.

This exam covers the scope of rehabilitation nursing practice including
  • Rehabilitation Nursing Models and Theories
  • Functional Health Patterns: theories, physiology, assessment, standards of care, and interventions in individuals with injury, chronic illness, and disability across the lifespan
  • The Function of the Rehabilitation Team and Community Re-entry
  • Legislative, Economic, Ethical and Legal Issues
