   I agree, the interview was very relaxed and they just wanted to get to know you. I interviewed with two of the faculty members and it only lasted about 10-15 min. They said we would find out pretty soon if we were admitted or not. We were the fi...

11. Hurst Review Video, what are the topics and how long?

    Wildflower8 RN, CCRN replied to jtanga's topic in NCLEX

12. New CCRN format?

    Wildflower8 RN, CCRN replied to aCRNAhopeful's topic in MICU

    I took the new format and just used the Laura G. dvds and the pass ccrn cd for questions to pass the test. I felt that the questions on the pass ccrn cd were harder than the ones on the actual test.
