CCRN-----------Yeah I got it

Took my exam today, and yes it is difficult I thought., they certainly do give you enough time to take the exam but you really need to know your diagnosis, outcomes and treatments...phew glad it is over and excited that I passed.

You all may think this is a dumb question, but what is CCRN? Do you have to take it before you work in a critial care unit or something? I am a NICU unit secretary (in nursing school and working on flipping to the other side!) and am just curious. :penguin:

Awesome. Congratulations!

A nurse must have experience caring for critical care patients before sitting for the exam:

Thanks everyone for the congrads! As far as preparing, honestly the test I found to be very different then the book that is sold on the site. The questions were more like they gave you the answer such as the baby has a metobolic acidosis,, what would produce this..sepsis..L-R shunt etc so for me I had to recall kiddos who had a metabolic acidosis and remember why it happen. Also I am lucky that I have been working in the PICU as all cardiac infants are sent to the picu. Only the experience of working with these cardiac patients was I able to answer those questions. In all honesty this was the hardest test I have ever taken and I am proud that I was able to pass.

As far as bonus, party etc.. no I did not receive any additional pay nor a bonus nor a party, although now the unit can say it has one more RN who has their certification,
