FloridaCCRN CRNA

I would recommend taking a 12 lead EKG course if possible (check with your nurse educator). I think that if you have been working with CCU type patients for a while then you should be fine, because you will have that knowledge base to pull from. But ...

Thank you! Really, I didn't study to much for the test because I didn't know how to prepare, I couldn't find anyone that had taken it and there is very liitle info out there about it. I mainly had to rely on my experiences of taking care of CCU patie...

Thanks! I took CMC six weeks after CCRN.

I agree, I also got a lot of thoses types of questions. If anything, I'd focus mostly on cardiac since it makes up the majority of the exam -32%.
