   RNforrest replied to crna2blg's topic in SRNA

   The important thing to remember with the interview is that this it YOUR time to shine. We have all dreamed of this day for a very LONG time. We have jumped through hoops, studied, stressed, and lost sleep over the interview process. But, all that ha...

8. Is CCRN more Prestigious Than PCCN?

   RNforrest replied to PacoUSA's topic in Critical

   Your PCCN will look good on a resume, it will help you get a heads up on the competition if you decide to move to ICU, and it will be a good foundation of learning to prepare for your CCRN. Comparing the two is difficult due to the different special...

    RNforrest replied to jpj7's topic in CCU

    Iceyv3, I used the Laura G DVD's and practice questions found on the AACN website. The DVDs were very entertaining and worth the time. It was heavily on swan and hemodynamics and several gas interpretations. Be very comfortable with those. Other...

    RNforrest replied to live4goddied4you's topic in ADN/BSN

    Look on some of your local hospital websites to see if any of them offer a scholarship program. I was fortunate enough to find such a program here in AZ. Banner Health paid for my RN degree. It was an ADN program but there is no difference in pay/sta...
