What happened to Laura Gasparis Vonfrolio?

Her material is fine.

And I just saw her live in person, so she's still out there working.


OP, If I were you, I'd go see her, and get your dvds from her personally. They are $50 cheaper if you buy direct at her show. Plus, she's funny as hell!

I studied the CEN first utilizing the Dvd's. Few months later, studied for CCRN with LGV's DVD's. The the DVD set is more recent I believe, but the CEN DvD's were pertinent to the CEN, and there were a few questions that appeared verbatim in the CEN review.

As far as overlap, the CCRN videos were much more indepth to reflect the broader specturm of the critical care environment. I'd say about 75% of the CEN material was presented in a very similar format on the CCRN dvd's, so purchasing the CEN material will only yield approximately 25% different material not covered on the CCRN dvd.

Good luck!

Please see my posts titled " CCRN" exam, from someone who has taken and passed the exam twice with lots of help from LGV. If you follow what she tells you, you will pass. Hope this helps.
