Hi I do have the CDs however they are a single computer use. Expensive that's all I remember. I thought the exam was not too hard. Core curriculum essential.

Hi everyone I read your postings. I am schedule to take this test soon. Any info... Thanks

Hi Lola I read your posting and you really sound enthusiastic to work in rehab. I worked in acute rehab for 3 years in one of the very well known centers in the US. I must say it was a really nice experience. we got patients with a lot of commorbidity and who acuity level was very high. I really feel that I learned a lot n my floor. The benefit of rehab over other units is that you really get to know your patient and family. It is an amazing feeling to see your patients improve. I also supervise in a subacute rehab facility. I must say two different ball games. If you are just graduating my advise to you is to do acute rehab. Your questions was do you get upset to see the comments that others make about rehab? and my answer is yes. I was having a conversation with someone that told me . "You will do real nursing on med/surg". I was left wondering of what that meant. I felt offendced, I am not a real nurse? I must say as a rehab nurse you do find it hard going to another department. Pre conception and ideas of people not in rehab is that we dont do anything, I must say in rehab you are everything for the patient, nurse, social worker, psychologist and much more. I loved and love rehab! I am doing other things now, but I will encourage you to do it if your heart is on it. Good luck:yeah:

I passed did well. I encourage you to take it. check the ARN website.

Hi Michelle, I am not sure about the junior college that you will be working. But this last semester I took a position at a community college as an adjunct for clinical. All clinical in that particular school were day shifts (8-1) for 2 days a week. The other available time were 8 hrs day shift on the weekend. I understand that because of your expertise you rather work at LTC facility instead, nut sometimes the rotations are so fast that you will go to the hospital. Best of lucks in your new career, val

I think that the CD of questions are enough with 700 ++++ questions there is plenty of information to review

Hi Everyone, I just got home from taking the CRRN exam. I must say the exam was fair. The questions were of all level of difficulty. I taught I was taking NCLEX all over again. It was 175 questions for 3 hrs. I finished a but less than 2 hrs. I refused to review the questions since I knew that the probabilities of changing the answers was high. Good luck to everyone else taking the test.

hi I LL BE SITTING FOR THIS TEST IN DEC i WAS SEARCHING ONLINE FOR A GOOD REVIEW PROGRAM BUT I REALIZED THAT IN THE ARN WEBSITE THEY HAVE A 2 REVIEW CDs AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO PURCHASE SHOULD I BUY BOTH? WILL I HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO ALL THOSE QUESTIONG? HOW DO U CHOOSE THE DATE TO TAKE THE EXAM? THANKS

I personally love presby but u should choose whats convinient for u. Dont go to a place because others said so. Ask questions to the staff there and observe their facial expression when they answer you. It really means a lot.

No kinding which state do u work? If it is new york let me know which hospital.

You can not go wrong with either one. I personally like QCC. but you should chose what works for you. Think about the winte r and the commute is you dont drive. Both school are great!!!
