Ace the CCRN®: You can do it! Study Guide is a concise guide that takes you through AACN's test plan for the CCRN® examination. Updated in 2021, the Second Edition is succinctly written using only bullet points containing key information on each disease state. There is an emphasis on the background of disease states, key physical assessment findings, lab values and management strategies. Nicole made an effort to break down information in a way that is easy to understand.
I loved the way Nicole broke down each system and topic. It’s very helpful that it is formatted in bullet points, I much preferred this over reading multiple paragraphs. If there is a topic you want more detail on to understand, it will prompt you to address your own learning gaps. Her test book is also fantastic. I passed my CCRN using her book and I would recommend her stuff to anyone who is looking for CCRN resources.
