PCCN CERT

Hello Everyone,

I have worked in Cardiology close to 4years and want to obtain my PCCN cert... My job doesn't have a course/bootcamp available.... They soon will... I don't want to wait and want to seek a class, etc on my own.... Any advice on how to approach this?? also any additional resources like purchasing a review book, CD, videos etc??? Im serious and want to start and get this done.... Please share your thoughts.........

    My hospital did have a boot camp. But I also purchased "Ace the PCCN you can do it" book by Nicole Kupchik and used a pccn daily question app. Passed first attempt. Good luck!

    Was “ace the PCCN You can do it” your only resource? I’m gonna start studying soon but I’m giving myself 6 months so I’m not overwhelmed with that and school. You know if the books they recommend on their website are actually worth it?

    I used the same book and app. No boot camp. I did buy the online review course from AACN, but I found it pretty useless. Passed, first attempt. It was easier than I was expecting. Good luck!

    Do you mind sharing what app you used?

    Thanks! I was looking at what was available and that looked like the better option anyway.

    PCCN Pocket Prep which I found harder than the actual test, imo.

    does your workplace have a library? i just picked up pccn books from there. they're free.

    i did my ccrn first a few years ago and i used apps, dvds, friends' materials, mult exam question booklets... honestly the practice exam questions prepared me the most / helped me pass ccrn and i felt like i wasted time trying to use all of the other resources. so this time around am just going to focus on practice questions
