5. Just passed my CCRN! Ask away!

   ONE-TWO-- replied to ONE-TWO--'s topic in Critical

   Some of the questions were actually very close to the actual questions in the test. I almost had some questions that were very close to being word for word. That being said, some of them were completely different. The best advice I can give when usin...

   ONE-TWO-- replied to ONE-TWO--'s topic in Critical

   What I meant is that you have to do some in depth critical thinking. Don't get me wrong, there were some very simple concept questions, but they were few and far between. I wish I knew GI and pulmonary a little better. There is a lot of stuff to deal...

   When you do practice questions make sure you are able to understand the rationale why certain answers are right and others are wrong. That helped me a ton.

   I watched the Laura Gasparis DVDs, PASS CCRN online questions, and a review book called Critical Care Nursing Certification by Ahrens, Prentice, and Kleinpell. I thought about getting the AACN review material but didn't. I initially watched the Laura...

10. Recommendation Letter after only 1 year?

    ONE-TWO-- posted a topic in SRNA

    Hey guys, I am a newer RN with about 9 months of experience in the ICU. Most schools require that you have 1 year experience in the ICU by program start date, so by the time that I apply and get in a program that wouldn't be a problem. I just am a l...

11. 1750 hours for CCRN exam?

    ONE-TWO-- posted a topic in CCU

    I know that we have to have 1750 hours in order to take CCRN exam. My question is, do the orientation hours that we go through count towards the 1750 hours? We go through a 3 month orientation process and we are technically providing bedside care in ...

    One if the assessments we do every 4 hours involves our IV site assessments. I'll look at the site, make sure it's not leaking/infiltrated and make sure I get proper blood return and that it flushes properly without any problems. My question is that ...

    ONE-TWO-- replied to nurselori77's topic in NCLEX

    Yes you are correct about contact versus droplet. A lot of the questions were geared toward that stuff but were phrased like "A nurse is leading a teaching class about infection control. Which of those following should the nurse include?" Some were ...

    ONE-TWO-- replied to nurselori77's topic in NCLEX

    I just took the NCLEX yesterday and I studied HURST as well. When mine didn't cut off at 75 I thought, "no big deal...it might cut off around 80" (I had classmates that had that happen to them). Boy I was wrong, after 180 questions I was losing my mi...
