Is there anyone else out there who is currently studying for the CCRN exam and would like to start a thread as perhaps a study and support group? I have just applied for the exam and have not yet set a date, but about in 3 months is when I will be taking it. I would love to be in communication with others in the same boat! I hope there is at least one other nurse out there! Thanks!

Just checking in to say I passed!!!!!! Woohoo! I feel great and like I have accomplished something big, I feel like I have become a more competent nurse by studying for this exam. I recommend that every critical care nurse do it! It was very comparable to the PASS CCRN practice exams, maybe a little harder it seemed, but I felt very prepared from using Gasparis' DVDs and doing those practice exams!

Here are my scores:

I got 104/125 correct 83% (same as my practice exams! :smokin: )

Cardio: 88% I was pleasantly shocked! I sucked on practice exam with cardio!

Pulmonary: 75%

Endocrine: 100%

Hemat/Immunology: 100%

Neuro: 100%

Gastro: 86%

Renal: 83%

Multi: 60% What the heck!? I was doing great on practice exam here! :madface:

Professional/Synergy Model: 80%

Overall, I am happy with my performance, I studied hard and it paid off! Thanks for everything! :yeah:

What are you going to do (or have you done) to reward yourself??

:p:p:p :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Well, I took myself out to lunch & bought myself a purse, necklace, & some earrings before I took the test. I intend to get a Lippincott stethoscope & a name badge with my initials behind my name in the next week or so. Just got back from vacation. :smokin:

I went to a work-run review class today - my test is in a week! Luckily, the review reinforced a lot of the studying that I've already done, and I feel like I've prepared ok. I'm getting around 80% on practice questions, so I hope that's good enough.
