Well, I took the test cold. I can do better.

Took the test again today, and well...it looks like I don't have to worry about accidently memorizing the questions, lol.

I got a 65%. Which is better than last time, who hoo! But still, I've got a lot to study.

I got 50% of the cardiac questions wrong.


Actually, I did well on almost everything else. So how ironic, I, cardiacRN has to really crack down and study cardiac.



Off to revisit Laura's tapes.

I just scheduled my exam for May 27th... I have the "Pass CCRN" book to study from, although I haven't done much yet. Got 72% on a practice exam I took without having studied, so hopefully I'll be okay.

Whoa!! Great job on your first practice exam! Very impressive. How did you do so well on your first time through, without studying? How long have you been in ICU? Way to go!!!

Don't forget about that pacep.org site. Have you gone through that one a time or two? You are probably overthinking your specialty, cardiac, that would be my guess! You are going to do fine.... just get fine-tune those picky cardiac questions, it is the hardest part of the exam.

YOu can do it!!!!

Laura G is my girl!

I just got my results and her materials (cd's, book and Pass CCRN) helped.

I also did study a lot.

Good luck to all going for it. You can do it.

Thanks! The passing grade for CCRN is 70%, isn't it? I still have a lot I need to study - esp endocrine, GIT, renal etc.

It is 10 years since I graduated from my critical care course - luckily my specialty is cardiothoracics, so I'm pretty sorted with cardiac and respiratory.

[armyicurn]

Passing score is 87 out of 125 ?s.

The whole enchilada has 150 ?s but 25 are not counted. Those 25 are for future versions of the test...

I hear ya armyicurn, I think Dr Laura rocks. Wouldn't you love to have her as a coworker? With all her knowledge and degrees etc, she is still a nurse's nurse. She is such an advocate for the bedside nurse. I wish she would update her CEN course, even though most of it is still pertinent.

70% is passing? Really?

My notification letter says 87...

What gives?
