Pccn

Hey rngrl...I took the PCCN not too long ago so I can give a little advice. I studied my nursing med surg book. I know it sounds awful. But I just went through the list of items from the PCCN review list and looked up these topics. I really think that is what helped me the most. Also I listened to some review cd's which were great. Type in a search for "PCCN". A couple of us had some discussions some time back about it. Good luck!!!

hey good luck with the pccn...i am planning on taking it in jan 07...i have been using 2 ccrn books and the review course material that the hospital gave us in a two day session...let us know how it was........

I did the same as limabean. I was the first on our unit and hospital to take this exam. After I did, they set up a class allowing only ten in (and they paid for their exam-not mine though).

This WAS a difficult test, but so worth the time, effort and expense expended!

There are now four of us on the unit who can put those credentials behind our name.

I am so PROUD!

Good luck..and, oh, I am now studying to take the CMC and expect to take this exam probably in January (just prior to my yearly review).

Does anyone have any tips for the CMC? I bought the review course, and also read the latest journal articles on the four subjects.

And of course, have the old stand by Med-Surg books on hand.

Thanks

So, how'd you do?

I TOOK THE PCCN IN SEPT AND DID NOT PASS I STUDIED FROM CD AND BOOK THAT I FOUND DID NOT HELP, SO NOW I HAVE THE AACN PCCN DVD AND THEY ARE REALLY GREAT I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEY COST 235 BUT WILL BE WELL WORTH THE MONEY , THE OTHER PROGRAM COST 200 I WILL BE RESCHEDULING THE TEST:uhoh3:
