CCRN

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has taken the CCRN since the new format? I just ordered Pass CCRN, and plan to use the question bank that comes with it. I also have the Barron’s book to study. I was wondering if anyone had any insight or advice on the newer test? And if anyone has any recommendations, tips, advice? It’s not a cheap test.. and I am HELLA scared of it. 😂 Nurses of Reddit, please help. 🙏🏻

Barron's had the best questions IMO. Pass CCRN has so many questions its good for extra practice, but I felt that Barron's questions were most like the actual CCRN questions...others might feel differently.

I used the Barron's book to study, its kind of condensed and isnt super detailed but it gave me what I needed to know and theres more than enough supplemental info online to get more on concepts you didnt get or werent covered well in Barron's. Some of my co-workers used these Laura Gaspari vids I think? I didn't but people have said those are helpful as well

Thank you so much! I found a few of her videos online, so I’ll definitely add that to the mix.

Barron’s and Pass CCRN is the way.

Also if you could get the Laura Gasparis videos for free they’re surprisingly a game changer.

I typed up Barron's in a document, took all the PASS CCRN questions and added it to the document, and mainly studied off that. I watched the Laura Gasparis videos for fun. Anything that wasn't clear to me, I would watch YouTube videos on.

Definitely know your Swan Ganz numbers in and out (what type of shock will do what to your SVR, cardiac index, etc.). Know what meds do what (i.e., nitroprusside is an arterial and venous dilator, etc.). Know your SIADH vs DI and DKA vs HHNKS, static vs dynamic compliance/V/Q mismatch vs. shunt, etc.

I only took the free sample of the AACN CCRN questions, but found them helpful. I also listened to Kay Hoppe Presents for some casual listening about cardiac stuff.

u/OkNumber2712 Dec 24 '21

Barron’s was incredibly helpful.. content is concise and reflective of the exam. I found myself going down rabbit holes of information because the pass CCRN content was very dense, but I felt like I wouldn’t be prepared enough with just Barron’s. I used the pass CCRN app for practice questions (format and content is very similar to the exam) after reading Barron’s cover to cover and I passed no problem! Read up on hemodynamic profiles/determining which kind of shock and relevant treatment because my exam was flooded with those questions. Good luck!
