How to Pass the Adult, Pediatric and Neonatal Critical Care Nurse Examination, using our easy step-by-step CCRN test study guide, without weeks and months of endless studying...

If you are interested in a different AACN test, we've developed study guides for most of the AACN Exam series.

Dear Friend,

On a beautiful late spring afternoon, this past year, a young woman received the devastating news. She had just gotten back her result on the CCRN test. It was not what she had hoped for. In fact, it was not even close to the expectations she had considering her excellent professional track record as a nurse.

She had failed the CCRN test.

The worst part was that she knew that she could never fulfill her goal of becoming a certified intensive care nurse without passing the CCRN test.

Then she remembered her friends and felt even worse. She had already told all of her friends and family that she was going to take the next step in her professional career and become an intensive care nurse. She was already looking forward to the increased earnings and change in lifestyle associated with her new earning power. Before her test day, she had been procrastinating about preparing for the CCRN test, because she hated standardized tests, and this only confirmed her hatred.

"Why do you have to take the CCRN test to become an intensive care nurse?" she angrily wondered.

She didn't look forward to having to tell the embarrassing news to her friends.

"What will I do if I can't pass this test?" she thought with dismay, slowly realizing the harsh reality of her predicament and its upsetting implications on her future.

How to Solve the Problem

Unfortunately, this hypothetical situation occurs all the time. Someone thought they were going to get the job they wanted, a better work environment that would involve treating fewer patients and getting more respect from medical colleagues. They had told all of their friends, made plans for the future, and then got an embarrassing reality check from their result on the CCRN test.

Contrary to popular belief, the CCRN test is not a measure of your nursing expertise, which is why nurses with a perfect track record don't always pass the CCRN test.

The CCRN test is quite simply a measure of how well you can apply medical knowledge, concepts, and principles to critical care patients.

Hospitals, health care agencies, and other employers use the CCRN test results as a standardized measuring stick to determine who is qualified for certification. While it may not be fair, a nurse's entire professional career could be completely overshadowed by their CCRN test result.

That is the whole purpose of the CCRN Exam Secrets study guide: to give nursing professionals the keys to understand how to succeed on the CCRN test.

Chris G.

"I just had to thank you guys for the test prep! I bought the guide as a last minute prep, I mean maybe 5 hours before the test. Like I said, I had ZERO preparation! I was nervous about the test let alone receiving the score I needed. I read the guide through only once before test time and needless to say, the only way I passed was thanks to your refresher!!"

Brian

"Just dropping you a note to let you know that I am completely satisfied with the product. I had already taken the test once and landed in the 75 percentile of those taking it with me. I took the test a second time and used some of your tips and raised my score to the 97 percentile. Thanks for my much improved score."

Denise W.

"I heard about your website from a friend. I am enrolled in a review course, and in hindsight, I wish I wouldn't have taken my review course and instead spent a fraction of the money on your program. Thank you!"
