What is ECCO? What does it stand for? What state is this hospital in? Are you an RN?

I just Googled because I didn't know either. It stands for Essential Critical Care Orientation.

Most are the same, but some do change. I'd say about 90-95% of questions are the same.

thanks, Have you taken the ECCO class? we are only allowed to take the test in 2 attempts if fail it then we don't get the job. Do you have any idea where should I focus on? Like for example on the introduction part? and Cardio Thank you

I have to work through the modules then take the exams. It's not something I have to do to get a job, it's something my facility requires of newer hires in certain departments. The modules take a lot of time, so you can't rush them. I found taking notes is also key to passing as the questions can be very nitpicky. The questions vary somewhat between takers as well, since I've had friends working through it too.

Dang, sorry your place of employment is so strict. I took notes on every slide that I didn't know. It was very time consuming, but with having to pass with 85%, sometimes it took me three attempts. Good luck and go slow. Basically, take your time with each question. There will be similar questions in the second set, but lots of new questions as well.
