Book Overview
Ace the CSC(R) You Can Do It is a focused, high-yield study guide built directly around AACN's test plan for the Cardiac Surgery Certification (CSC(R)) examination. The updated Second Edition distills the core cardiac surgery knowledge you need into a clean, bullet-point format, so you spend your study time on what actually appears on the exam, not wading through dense paragraphs.
What's inside:
BUILT ON THE AACN TEST PLAN: Content follows the official AACN blueprint for the CSC(R) exam, covering the cardiac surgery patient across the perioperative period so your preparation maps to what you'll actually be tested on.
180+ PRACTICE QUESTIONS WITH FULL RATIONALE: Every practice question includes answers and detailed rationale for both correct and incorrect options, helping you understand the reasoning, not just memorize the answer, and sharpening the test-taking judgment that separates a pass from a fail.
BULLET-POINT FORMAT FOR FASTER REVIEW: The Second Edition is written entirely in concise bullet points containing the key information, making it easy to review quickly, find what you need, and retain more in less time.
UPDATED SECOND EDITION (2022): Revised and current, this edition reflects the latest test plan so you're studying accurate, up-to-date material.
DESIGNED FOR BUSY NURSES: Succinct by design, this guide fits around clinical shifts and real schedules, whether you're doing a full study block or reviewing between rounds.
WRITTEN BY A TRUSTED CRITICAL CARE EXPERT: Created by Nicole Kupchik, Clinical Nurse Specialist with 30+ years of ICU experience and multiple certifications (CCNS, CCRN, PCCN, CMC, CSC), a nationally recognized name in critical care nursing exam preparation and CCRN review courses.
