  1. Anyone else studying for CCRN exam?

    Dennison's CD for practice test questions is invaluable... and the book itself is an excellent reference... I keep mine in my locker... Yes, it's dense, but you should not expect to learn everything in it for the CCRN... use it to supplement your ide...

  3. Csc/cmc

    Hey Xigris... Are you able to maintain CCRN-CMC-CSC through your clinical hours as a CRNA? I see on the AACN website nurse anesthesia was counted... but I know a lot of CRNAs let their CCRN and subspecialties lapse because maybe they didn't know bett...

  10. Please help, orientation problems

    I have some things to add... since I was in your shoes... I lived through one heinous orientation... My second week I was told, "As long as I'm your preceptor...you're going to be my b*tch!!!" It went downhill from there...and the comments stayed the...
