Updated with content from the AANN Comprehensive Review for Stroke Nursing, 2nd edition book (2020). The AANN SCRN Self- Paced Review Course is used to assess whether or not a candidate is prepared for the Stroke Certified Registered Nurse (SCRN) examination. Use the Self-Paced SCRN Review Course to better understand your current knowledge as it applies to the certification and determine where additional studies are needed. The review course consists of 8 modules, which includes a course introduction, followed by comprehensive videos and interactive knowledge checks.
Please note: The SCRN Self-Paced Review Course is not intended to replace studying for the credentialing of the examination. Your performance on the review course will not guarantee results on the actual SCRN examination.
