Customer Reviews

The lesser of the evils out there.

I prefer this book over Pass the CCRN! because the layout is easier to read, whereas Pass the CCRN! is laid out in outline form and makes me feel like I'm just memorizing a bunch of facts. Also in this book, there are some good practice exams that are, from what other previous CCRN test-takers have told me, very similar in style and difficulty to the actual CCRN.

Needs a more simplistic approach

This is one of the few books available for CCRN certification. Practice exams cover too much material and may overwhelm you. The book should cover what you need to know instead of adding extra material that is not likely to be on the exam.

Great reference for Critical care and for review purposes

Each chapter is carefully and thoughtfully layed out. They also build on each other until the whole picture is before you.
