The Board of Certification for Emergency Nurses (BCEN) is a US-based accredited organization that creates and awards certifications for specialty nursing specific to emergency and trauma nurses.[1] BCEN offers certification, recertification, and continuing education for nurses.[1] Founded in 1980 as a part of the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA),[2][3] BCEN became an independent non-profit organization in 1986.[1] As of 2022, BCEN provides five certifications,[1] four of which are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Specialty Nursing Certification (ABSNC),[4] with a sixth program set to launch in 2023.[5][6]
