CCRN CRAM :/

Published

Anyone else studying for the CCRN adult exam? I have been doing the Pass CCRN cd questions & test, as well as listening to ccrn cram podcasts. Averaging 70-80% on q&a, also getting ready to watch laura gasparis DVDs. Anymore suggestions & those that have taken it... Is it as terrifying as I imagine it to be?

I took and passed the exam in January. Your prep materials are the same ones that I used. I also listened to the Cammie House-Francher podcasts.

The exam is difficult, but as an experienced ICU nurse, it is information that you should know. I was surprised that many of the questions I answered without hesitation and there were a few that were nearly verbatim from my Pass CCRN CDROM .

Good luck!

I'm taking it tomorrow, and just stopped by here to give my brain a break. I used the Gasparis DVDs, Cammy Fancher's podcasts, Kaplan, and a little Pass CCRN. If the practice tests are an accurate indicator, then the exam really is a lot of what we use in daily practice. That being said, I am still super anxious:-( Good luck!:)

The podcasts are no longer free on itunes. I did locate them by googling (I guess they decided they could make some money off of them), but did not purchase. I studied the Pass CCRN online questions that came with the book. I also studied the Laura Gasparis DVDs. This seems to be a common method. It worked for me!

A coworker let me borrow the DVDs. I think he bought them on Ebay. She also has a website for all of her review material products.
