So I passed my CCRN this week. I wanted to share how I studied since I asked everyone and I see the question come up. I work in a level one trauma hospital but in the MICU. I have been a nurse for a little over a year and I started in ICU as a new grad. I studied for about 4 days by watching the DVDs by Laura Gasparis and doing pass ccrn questions. I was really nervous but it ended up going well. I suggest the DVDs and then focusing in practice questions. Good luck to everyone attemptin it! Your dreams are closer than yo think.

I need to check out certification. I thought they required 2 years of critical care experience before sitting for the exam. Congrats!
I got the DVDs from a coworker of mine. Lol i wish i could just circulate them around to whoever needs them The Pass CCRN code was 24 dollars online from the publisher. And thanks a bunch!
You need 1750 hours if critical care time. I completed that amount in about 10 months since there was a time I was going quite a bit of OT. And thank you!
I have the PASS book and I'm thinking about just buying the dvds. I figure eventually I can resell them and get most of my money back. I've heard amazing things about the dvds and I've seen some sections, she really puts it in a way you understand it. Even if only to expand my knowledge, I think it's worth it.

Hi,
I can't find the info on the Pass CCRN code that's $24. Can you share a link? Also, will this give you access to all the questions without having to buy the book? Sounds like the practice problems are more valuable than the book itself. Thanks. :)
