How much time experience before CCRN ?

Specializes in ICU.

I was just curious, you only need a year of full time work before you can take the CCRN exam....has anyone attempted to do this...the main purpose I would be considering is to help my NA application....how long should I wait...

P.S. this is my third night off orientation, it feels AMAZINGGGG, six long months...but I officially responsible for two patients...

Hello, I've been in the ICU for a little over a year and will be taking the CCRN in the next month or so. Come and check out our thread: Anyone else studying for the CCRN, under Cardiac ICU. There are a few of us preparing for the test with only a year or two of experience. It is a very supportive thread. Thanks.

I'm a relatively new nurse...I graduated in '05, stepped into the ICU, and haven't done anything else since (except ER/CTCU float stuff)

I'm taking the test in september

like dawn said,you should join us over in the CCU CCRN thread

IF you put in the studying time I'm sure you'd pass it - the majority of people who take the test pass it (60%)

oh, i'm applying to CRNA programs right now too, the CCRN license REALLY helps distinguish you
