I worked on a PCU before leaving for a Cath Lab position 5 months ago. I have decided to start preparing for the CCRN exam, even though I plan on taking the exam next year.
In reading the AACN's elegibility requirements it states: "Critical care practice as a registered nurse is required for 1,750 hours in direct bedside care of (adult, neonatal or pediatric) acutely or critically ill patients during the 2-year period preceding date of application, with 875 of those hours accrued in the most recent year preceding application."
I know that PCU is more for the PCCN exam, and Cath Lab for the CCRN exam. Would I fit the CCRN requirements in 7 months???
