Guys anung mga hemodialysis training centers po ba ang accredited ng Renap dito sa Manila or QC?
@mervyn avenido: are you referring to certified rehab reg nurse?because this is RENAP. about renal nursing. maybe it’s CRRT.
@Glysa: CRRT is a three day training course but it is offered by Phil Heart Center or Aesculap Academy (5days). RENAP does not offer ANY trainings. Only seminar/updates and accreditation exams.
@Jarryd: As I previously posted. The next exam will be on July 2011.
Your questions may already be answered if you only read older posts.
@ross – thank you for all your replies. that helped me out a lot in here. Mabuhay ka!
hello, okay lang po bang mag take ng CRN exam kahit yung hospital-based dialysis center na pinapasukan ko ay di accredited training hospital?
@joan – accredited training hospital ng alin?
kc po ms Rona i am working as a volunteer nurse at a hospital-based HD unit, pero po hindi accredited ang HD unit to train nurses. okay lang po ba na mag take ng accreditation exam kahit hindi accredited training HD unit yung pinapasukan ko?
.helo..,
ask ko lng po kung pwede po ba mgpaverify ng result of exam sa heart center.. kc ung iba wala nman name sa list of passers but nung ngpunta sila dun pumasa nman daw sila.. is it true na my ganun na ngyayari…?
@ler – call RENAP to inquire if you can personally come over to their office to view the results.
What are the list of references needed?
References like your Head Nurse, Director of Nursing, Supervisors etc. When I went there to register, they did not even ask me a list of reference of letters. But bring one just in case.
i was thinking na if somebody wants to avail the RENAP membership it only needs the following:
1. List of references (personal or work-related)
2. PRC license
3. PhP 300 membership fee (valid for 1 year)
but i’m afraid i’m seeing comments from here: http://renap2002.multiply.com/ that are different
moreover, i was contemplating in the requirement #1.. hmmm is there a specific format for it to be used or is there a need to let it be signed by the persons listed? thanks!
I don’t see that they specified that it needs to be signed.
para saan yung accreditation?
Para maging CRN.
good day! when will b the next exam for RENAP accreditation? (how is the exam? – ilang item exam po siya ang wat are the contents? will it take a whul day to finish? s the exam the same venue wer certificates are claimed? (rooftop ng phil hearts center)
siya pala po, i read na kailangan ng 6 mos training sa wards dapat before having the HD training. in my case, before the bord exam i applied and was permitted to b traind.
our unit issues certificates of training , it is based sa hospital in the province. is it the same sa tinatanggap for the certification (i’ve traind for 6 mos and pro-b na)?
god bless!
@HH –
Read up (comments). Your question has already been answered.
Hi,

I passed the exam last 2008 and I’m im wondering about the ways to renew it. I’m currently working in a call center industry thats why I’m not updated with the trend. Can I ask for your help on how to start it?
im sorry, its AFTER the bord exam i was permitted to have the training…

@lea santos – inquire directly with RENAP about this.
hi sir/ Ma’am
Is RENAP accredited by the Nephrology Nursing Certification Commission of the US as the provider of the 15 contact hours requirement for
CDN International Eligibility Criteria?
@debs – inquire directly with RENAP about this.
hello po, ask ku lang po pano mag renew ng acreditation certificate mlpit n po k c ma xpired ?
@rita – the best thing to do os go to RENAP and ask for the requirements for the renewal of your certificate. What I know is you will only have to pay the renewal fee though.
Nephrology Nursing Certification Commission in the US is requiring 15 contact hours of continuing nursing education for those who wish to take the certified dialysis nurse international certification exam. i would like to know if RENAP is recognized by NNCC as a provider of CNE.

Please refer to RENAP’s requirements above. Best of luck to you!
i finished d 5-week hemodialysis training and i wud lyk to have the CRN exam. however, my working experience is on clinical instruction for a year. i had less than 6 months pure hospital training though.wud dat b ok? anticipating for ur reply. thanks and more power!
Hello les. It’s best to inquire directly with RENAP regarding this as I am not exactly sure what their criteria is for someone to be able to take the CRN exam. Best of luck to you.
i think the organization should be strict in implementing their requirements before taking the accreditation exam. i knew lots of nurses who have gotten their license as CRN but have not undergone dialysis training…
hi po! ask ko lang po if tinatanggap po ba sa experience yung volunteer sa red cross? nag- bblood donations po kami, VS, ambulance service, etc. kasama po ba yun sa experience?
Most likely they will need it to be hospital-based. Call them up just to be sure though.
when po yung annual convention? is it oct 21-22, 2011? paano po magpareserve?
paano mgpareserve sa annual convention on october 21-22?
