YOu can do it!!!!

I don't work in cardiac! I picked my stupid screen name when I thought for sure I'd be a cardiac nurse. I am really not a fan! But lately I've had no choice as my last few weeks of pts have been cardiac pts. I went home and reviewed Laura's CV videos, and had a minor epiphany! Now, cardiac isn't so bad...


So, I haven't actually watched all of her videos. But I think I will watch them all, and then retake the test and see how I do...

87/125=70%.

Oh I'm sorry cardiacRN2006 for making the assumption! Silly me!!

I've finished the DVDs. Now I just need to review my notes and the review book and practice some tests. It's crunch time I'm starting to get really nervous...

Well, I had to mention that so you wouldn't think "gees, why is a cardiac RN getting 50% on her cardiac portion???"


Lol.

Can you imagine if I worked in a CVICU and I sucked that bad at cardiac?

If I recall, you were getting 80% or better on your practice exams correct?? Then I promise you, you will do fine. As a matter of fact, I would suggest you figure out what you are going to do to celebrate and reward yourself!!

If you know those rationales, you will PASS!! If in doubt, pick the longest answer....

Hey folks I'm studying for the exam too! I plan on taking it late May or early June after I get settled moving. I got my best score since starting the CCRN review. I got 117/150 questions...78%! I'm pleased since I've been getting about a 65% right off the bat without studying. Reviewing the material is starting to pay off. It's nice to have support! Good luck all!

Yaaayyyy!!! You are doing fabulously! You will definitely pass that exam and you still have time to really solidify your knowledge! Have you found the studying to be an empowering experience?

[NurseCutie]

Yes it is empowering! I've learned sooo much just from studying the material. I can't wait til I pass this test and have CCRN behind my name.
