Preparation for the Exam

 

Policy Manual


The CRNFA Policy Manual contains a job analysis that defines the tasks performed by the registered nurse first assistant and lists the knowledge and skills required to complete those tasks. It is intended as a guideline for exam preparation, not as a study tool.

The CRNFA Study Guide & Practice Resource is highly recommended as a study aid for the CRNFA certification exam, and CCI has also provided a study bibliography to assist in preparation for the exam.
