So, I passed the CCRN exam yesterday. I browsed this site a lot for helpful suggestions on how to study. I was nervous because of the change in the test plan. I wanted to share how I studied for those of you looking to take it soon or just beginning to study.
I listened to Laura Gasparis and David Woodruff CDs in my car (to and from work), at home, all the time for about a month. I purchased the AACN's review course (it was on sale and also provides CEs) and did that as well. All of these things were very helpful, but the best advice I can give is to do as many practice questions as you can get your hands on. I did the Pass CCRN questions and purchased the AACN practice test. It does require a lot of commitment but it is so worthwhile once you have it!

Congrats and welcome to the club!
Don't forget that you renew every 3 years and you need 100 CEUs, just do the free ones on the AACN website and you should be gtg. Now put that new CCRN information to good use!
