Hi just my opinion, coming from an icu nurse. I feel that as long as your work atmosphere is decent and you're happy, you should stay until you feel comfortable handling any patient population that comes through your units doors! Meaning you being the nurse that takes care of those really sick patients. And once you feel confident maybe consider going back to a level 1 icu before heading back to school for anesthesia! :) good luck!!

Hi! I am a MICU nurse looking to take the CCRN exam within the next 3 to 5 weeks. So far to study, I have taken 2 practice tests scoring 111/150 on the first and 119/120 on the second. I have been doing many practice questions from the online pass CCRN bank. I also bought an online review from the aacn which contains videos that review each system that I plan to watch. I'm feeling pretty confident that I will be able to pass the exam after a few more weeks of hard studying. There is a Laura gasparis CCRN cram in about a month that is about four hours away from where I live. It costs about $150 to attend and I would stay with family that lives close by for free. So basically I'm asking if attending the Laura gasparis lecture helped to solidify your knowledge and helped you to confidently pass the exam. Or if you felt that it wasn't entirely necessary. I'm trying to decide if it's worth going! Excepting any advice or input! Thank you!
