BluntForceTrauma Jul 10, 2014 Yep..I browsed through the Kaplan CCRN book a little. The questions were harder in the books that on the exam! 0 Likes
Medic8008 Has 2 years experience. Jul 24, 2014 I recently just passed the CCRN in March. The only thing I used was the PassCCRN book. I really just used the disc with test questions and used the book when I didn't understand something. The book is great but very hard to read consistently due to the amount of info. 0 Likes

GaMommy81 Specializes in MICU. Has 3 years experience. Aug 2, 2014 I am preparing to take the CCRN in October. I have the Pass CCRN book and I have been alternating between the book and the online companion questions. I am studying for it system by system. I am spending a lot of time on cardiac because it is the largest section on the exam and also my weakest subject. I am enjoying the learning process and I hope to be ready in two months. 0 Likes

Shawny D, BSN, RN Specializes in MICU, CVICU. Has 12 years experience. Aug 4, 2014 I "passed" the CCRN using only the review CD from the 3rd edition of Pass CCRN as well as my own notes taken from watching (and rewatching several times) the Gasparis DVDs. I studied hard-core (2-3 hours/day for a month) and passed with 100/125, with > 90% on both Cards and Pulm. sections. The questions on Pass CCRN were more challenging than the actual questions, so I think that they were great preparation for the real thing, and Gasparis is a wonderful teacher. 0 Likes

I have never laughed so hard while watching a study material. Laura Gasparis is funny!!! I really though people were exaggerating but I stand corrected. Lol."Brenda, there's a murder going on".
