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!

Congrats Kolt (he passed on Wednesday),

You beat me....I passed, too, but just got 99 correct out of 125---I agree: it was hard! Kept thinking, "Hhmmm, this question doesn't seem to have a correct answer listed, so it must be one of the "future-test" questions that don't count"....until I found myself thinking this for more than 25 questions!! Hard test....By the way, Kolt, you sound pretty amazing---just out of college one year, working in CTICU w/Swans, already have your CCRN, just 23,....I think you'll be the DON at some major hospital someday...Hats off to you! and thanks everyone for your support!

nyforlove, thank you...

I graduated in May '07 with my bachelors.

Had a bad job experience first off ... was there 2 months.

Been in the CVICU for 1 year with great mentors and support.

I am heart training in 2-4 weeks ... I'll take 15 fresh hearts, then I'll be certified.

I am now studying for the GRE .. I hate vocabulary so it will be a challenge and a half.

Looking to apply to CRNA in September ... time will tell.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Hi bloomingdawn! I would highly recommend that you email the AACN at www.aacn.org (this is the website and contact information can be found there). I can't imagine that if you fulfill the requirements for eligibility that they wouldn't allow you to take the exam. I don't recall that there are any requirements based on nationality. However, you may need to plan a trip to the US to take it!!! But, please email the AACN, the staff there is very helpful and friendly and would be happy to work with you to find a way for you to the exam. Good luck!! Let us know what you find out!! :mad::mad::mad:
