I posted this request in Cardiac Nursing, but no replies yet. Also no threads show up when I search.
I would appreciate any help with this subspecialty exam--I am taking it soon!
Have the study CD and the blueprint. I am reading my med-surg book, looking through CC journals, and basic searches online.
Anyone taken this exam that can offer suggestions?
Much appreciated!

Don't know if this will help or not...I took the CMC test last month and missed it by 3points! I am scheduled to retake it this thursday. I have been studying "PASS CCRN" by Dennison and "Cardiac Nursing" by Woods for the retake. The CMC Review DVD put out by the AACN was not helpful to me the first time. I found it very disappointing that there were no materials available specific to this test. I currently work in a cardiac cath lab and previous to that I was in ICU. I feel this credential will benefit me in the future and so I forge ahead!!! I will let you know how it goes!

Just wanted to share the good news...I passed the CMC test!!! Whew! It was the hardest test I have ever taken in my life and I'm glad it is over with! I am anxious to start reading and researching cardiology topics to increase my knowledge base and make me a better nurse and not with so much pressure hanging over my head. Being a member of this forum has helped TREMENDOUSLY. THANK-YOU SO MUCH for all the valuable information and the interesting stories. I find that I remember things better if I can relate them to practice in real life situations.

Congrads!!!! i took that test and well it was harder than then the ccrn that for sure. I took the paper test wont find out the results until six weeks. I work in icu and i wished i had more cardiac experience like you have now. What did you think really help pass? I agree the CD from AACN could have been better to prep for the exam. Im crossing my finger that my guessing help lol and congrad again
