CCRN Books

Published

Just wondering what books/study guides people suggest for the CCRN. I work peds cardiac ICU so I've got a lot of studying to do r/t picu topics. Any suggestions welcome :-)

You can't go wrong with AACN Core Curriculum for Pediatric Critical Care Nursing 2nd Ed. http://aacn.org/dm/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?productid=200205&prodtyp=product&subsystem=ORD&itemid=0&mid=0&opentype=win]American Association of Critical-Care Nurses

Are you planning on attending NTI in Boston??

Thanks! I will check it out!

I have been thinking of going to NTI, Boston is my home city, not where I currently live/work :-( but I am thinking it will be a great excuse to go home and a great conference!

Many years ago I used Mary Fran Hazinski's text to prepare for the CCRN. I read it cover to cover. It was finally revised and has a new edition out. Great reference!

@tryingtohaveitall, I have that book too, the newer version, little dense but I know I will use it as reference too
