when to become a ccrn...or not

[heysmalls]

Hello everyone. I was just wondering on when should one become a ccrn. I have only started working in the ccu for only a month now. However, I have been a nurse for 5 years all together. Am I still obligated to be in CCU for a year or how does that work exactly. Also, do you have to attend a class or is there material to study with and you take the test whenever. I know....Lots of questions. Sorry, but I sort of green on this. I used to work of the Med-Surg floor, so I did not worry about this type of thing. If someone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jonda
