HELP!!! I have to have the ccrn cert to get into the school of choice!!! I have gone to a 2 day review, bought the "pass ccrn" book, listening to tapes and diligently been giving around 6 hours a week reviewing cardio ( i am taking a onling killer class too!- not related to ccrn) and plan to take the exam in mid january.
if there is anyone out there with experience with this test please give me insight into what to expect. Do I need to know how to figure measures like svr or lvedp or lvswi?? or what ever along those parameter lines..
How heavy is it on pharm, anatomy, physiology, nuring care plans ect... Advice, HELP and more advice asap!!! Thanks a million!!!!
I was CCRN certified for few yrs but let it expire because I was not getting reimbursed by my employer (hospital) for it. I only studied a cheap book on CCRN exam (can't recall the author) and went to a seminar here in Norfolk, VA by Laura Gasparis herself in 1989, didn't buy but simply borrowed Gasparis' tapes from a friend and passed it.
CCRN was a requirement to get into the Nurse Anesthesia School I graduated from in 1994. Took CRNA Boards in 1995 and did not pass it. Never took it again and I went back to CCU (Cardiac Care Unit) and I loved it and became comfortable with it. But now I am contemplating about taking the CCRN and CRNA Boards again because of my DJD and torn meniscus prob on my knee. I cannot lift heavy patients in CCU anymore.
I would take my time if I were you. It is stressful enough to take a major exam let alone rush yourself into taking it. The Gasparis tapes were ok but there is something better now which is by Dennison - PASS CCRN.
