To become an RNFA, the aspirant should finish a 4 year RNFA program from an accredited school. He must be licensed by the State Licensing Board and acquire certification in peri-operative nursing (CPN). He must take part in continuing training and education programs to enhance his skills and competencies.
To become an RN, some colleges require you to have taken the CNA course as a pre-requisite. So completing a CNA course can be very useful if you wish to progress to an RN. As an RN, you can then further specialise in any of the following fields: RN in Emergency Room, Family Nurse Practioner (NP), a Charge Nurse (RN) and an RN in Operation Room.
