Ha! After weeks, months, and what seems like years of studying so much so that my head is going to explode..... I passed my CCRN test on my birthday. I want to say a nenernerner to all those nurses whom I work with that gave me those condescending looks and remarks when a little old telemetry nurse decided to take a critical care test!!!!
I also want to thank all those that supported me, and JennyP and Bassbird for helping me during ANA.
Happy Birthday and definite congrats on passing that horrid exam. Now keep up those CEU's so you never have to take that monster again! I had a boss that took the test every 3 years. Back in the mid 90's, when I took it, she said NEVER AGAIN!!!
Yes, Ms. Purp. I do feel better. In regards to financial issues, it is amazing how quickly things can get better when you lose your wallet. I am in control. I think in the last month I have grown up A LOT!
Thanks to everyone for their support.
Yes, Karen it must have been the cheese steak. That or all those merainge (i can't spell it) that I ate.
Let's just say that I never want to have the feeling that my head is going to explode with all that information when not even a significant percentage was on the test.
HEY MOONSHADEAU, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! You are so smart and dedicated-- welcome to the CCRN ranks! I don't remember "helping" you with the studying back in June, though. :) Seems to me I as the one who kept you up too late -- and snored afterwards!
Come work with me, Kid; I'd love to have you working in my unit! So what if it would be about a 2 hour commute each way!!!:roll
Happy Birthday and congrats on passing the CCRN!!!!!!!
WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!
I just started working in a 30 bed SICU/HU. The hospital encourages us to become CCRN's. Laura Gasparis Vonfrolio is coming to my area in December to give a conference on passing the CCRN. I'm gonna wait awhile for that but it is my goal to become a CCRN! My hospital will pay for us to take the exam and they'll pay for the recertification fees! How great is that! There are a LOT of CCRN's that work in my unit. The last hospital I worked at there were only 2 or 3 CCRN's.
What a great achievement and feeling, savor it. I hope this turns into a roll for you. Good luck has stung you good :-) I can only dream of the accomplishment you have made, as a person just starting RN school. Im a pollwog, whatever that is. lol. I loved reading fun achievement happy words :-)
