19. ARIN Member Testimonials
The course was very thorough. It seems to be an ideal study tool for the CRN. I appreciate that it provided greater details and not just an exact redundancy of the IR Core Curriculum. This class was definitely worth my time. I look forward to seeking my CRN and to joining this esteemed group of professionals. Tina Benna IR Nurse Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, CA

20. ARIN Member Testimonials
I feel more confident to take the CRN exam having the lecture material written out and organized in sections allowed for better listening so as not to miss important points; less note taking. Easier to review along with the Core Curriculum manual, thank you. Barbara Lokey BSN Clinical Nurse Radiology University Hospitals Case Medical Center

21. ARIN Member Testimonials
This course was a great review for the Imaging Nurse Certification exam. It was especially beneficial to me in that it covered areas within Imaging Services that I do not have practice experience in. For generalists, it is a great review. For specialists, it will cover areas where you lack competencies. The best part of the experience is being able to discuss specific examples of challenges that you face and hear how someone in another part of the country has found a way to overcome that challenge.
