    Has anyone ever let their CCRN expire?

    murseman24 replied to CyclicalEvents's topic in Critical Care

    LOL, really? What's the point in that? I had CCRN and the subspecialty CMC and there was NOTHING covered in those tests that went anywhere near as deep as what we're taught in

    murseman24 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in Critical Care

    Sorry, I know this kind of dialogue isn't helpful. I just finished CRNA school and would LOVE to see some of the perioperative and OR nurses take care of critically ill patients and hold some...

    Respiratory therapy or Surgical tech

    murseman24 replied to purigorotta8's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Is a respiratory therapist a 2 year degree? I'm interested to hear the responses. I would assume a respiratory therapist would tend to make more money on average, just my guess

    Has anyone ever let their CCRN expire?

    murseman24 replied to CyclicalEvents's topic in Critical Care

    I let mine expire in CRNA school, doesn't really hold any merit anymore, but if I hadn't gone that route I don't know if I would have kept it. You can easily buy a book on EKGs or CXR or something...
