Is there anyone else out there who is currently studying for the CCRN exam and would like to start a thread as perhaps a study and support group? I have just applied for the exam and have not yet set a date, but about in 3 months is when I will be taking it. I would love to be in communication with others in the same boat! I hope there is at least one other nurse out there! Thanks!

Go right to the AACN web page and download the new information. The biggest change is probably going to be the behavior questions. Look under certification news.

I already did that. I guess these are very new, so of course there won't be any new study guides for a little while. Hopefully I'll know enough to pass!

Somewhere on the AACN site, it specifically says what is now omitted and added. It wasn't a huge list of things.

I am sure you will be fine if you have been doing practice questions. Don't sweat it. At least you learn right after the test if you passed or failed!

Hang in there Reno, you WILL pass!

I've been reading this thread for the last month as I prepared to take my CCRN and it was immensely helpful. I took my exam today and passed. I appreciate all the useful study tips and strategies that people posted over the long span this thread has run. Thanks.
