Odd question, but I passed my CCRN recently... now what? Do I get a card or something to go with my ACLS/PALS/BLS/etc.?

I googled with surprisingly not many relevant results...

Literally 5 seconds after posting this I figured it out. Whoops :)

--> Verification of certification on AACN website

I do wonder how long it takes for your certification to post, though

Congratulations. You will receive a certificate, a wallet card and a letter for your employer via US mail.

I used the $150 AACN online review course offered on the AACN website, nothing else! And some youtube videos about concepts I wasn't very familiar with.

Now you need to start saving up on CERPS. The AACN website has a lot of free CERPS. I'm surprised you didn't become a member before taking the CCRN. You could have saved a lot on the CCRN exam.

Now if you want, you can take the CMC subspecialty certification which is now more focused on cardiac and respiratory issues as well as developing a mastery of cardiac medications.
