1. What constitutes 1,600 hours of clinical infusion therapy experience? The requirement of 1,600 hours of clinical infusion therapy experience ensures that the RN has sufficient exposure to infusion technologies and has the skill set required for knowledge of the infusion practice. Experience may be within one or several of the nine core areas: 1,600 hours of direct clinical bedside experience is not required. You may be an educator, researcher, administrator, manager, or nurse; if you have regularly practiced infusion therapy in any of those capacities as an RN within the past two years, you have more than likely obtained the requisite hours. 2. My state does not allow me to copy my RN license. What should I do? You should submit a letter from your state Board of Nursing verifying your current RN license, or download the information from your Board of Nursing's Web site. A listing of those Web sites is available at www.ncsbn.org. 3. I do not have any computer skills, will I be able to take the computer-based exam? Computer and typing skills are not necessary to take the exam. Prior to attempting the timed exam, you will be given the opportunity to practice taking an exam on the computer. The time you use for this practice exam is NOT counted as part of your exam time or score. When you are comfortable with the computer testing process, you may quit the practice session and begin the timed exam. Details about computer-based test taking are also provided in the CRNI® Bulletin. 4. What should I use to study for the CRNI® Examination?
