Ccrn

I wish you luck. It was a very hard exam but I did manage to pass it. If you did ok on your CEN I am sure you will be ok. Did you take a review course or use any practice tests? They did help me some.

Thanks Puff RN. I did pass !!!! It was a great feeling. The test was moderately difficult but totally doable. I attended a CCRN seminar put on by med Ed ..I didn't think they were great..BUT the Laura Gasparis Vonfrolio videos and book I watched them 50 times.. i viewed them so much my grandaughter who is 4 goes around making heart sounds and murmur sounds....so funny.

thanks

Congratulations!!!! I went to a two-day seminar in Little Rock that Laura Gasparis-Vonfrolio put on. Never had such a good time. Would go again just for the entertainment. Hope all goes well with you.

I'm supposed to attend a 4-day CCRN review in Little Rock next month. Do you think the Gasparis tapes/CD's helped you a lot? All this stuff is so expensive (and we don't get a salary differential for it either). There's also a program on ed4nurses.com, but I haven't heard anything about that one; he guarantees you to pass or he gives you tutoring and pays for the re-take of the test. I've been a CV/SICU nurse for 20+ years, but the CCRN test has always intimidated me...so now I have to show myself that I can do it. Maybe. Okay, okay, I can do it...if I study the right stuff... :sofahider

I would put a great deal more time into studying for CCRN than you did for CEN. I took CEN and didn't think it was that bad, but after looking at some CCRN review stuff, the CCRN exam looks like a whole different animal. It seemed very in-depth to me.

All I studied was the LGV videos and book of pearls that comes with it and I scored 103. Its a great review course. :wink2:
