This course can also be used to prepare for the radiologic nursing certification exam. It is not designed as a single study tool to prepare for this exam; however, it is a useful resource in conjunction with other study materials.

We are always looking for talented members to share their expertise; if you are interested in becoming a faculty member to teach the review course please send an email to the National Office at info@arinursing.org.

Purpose and Goals for the Imaging Review Course

This educational program will provide a review of selected topics which can help prepare experienced Imaging nurses for the Radiology Nurse Certification Exam. This course is intended for the Imaging nurse who already has a strong knowledge base of radiology nursing. This course does not guarantee that participants will pass the certification exam. Individual participants are highly encouraged to take the time to study and gain mastery of the topics.

Sample Agenda for the Imaging Review Course

Host an ARIN Imaging Review Course at Your Facility

We understand it may not be ideal to send a large group away for training, especially with budget restrictions- so we make house calls!

The ARIN Imaging Review Course is available to be presented on-site at your facility by ARIN IRC faculty. You organization can host the course and have our faculty train your staff (and others) in your facility.
