Looking to ace your CCRN? Wondering what the heck the CCRN (Critical Care Registered Nurse) is? Look no further, future CRNA! While not every school requires the CCRN, this certification can help you boost your application and stand out as a highly competitive candidate when applying to school. 


In today’s episode, we’re breaking down: 

  • What is the CCRN, and who needs to take it?
  • The hourly ICU experience and qualifications you’ll need to take the test
  • What sections you can expect to see (and where to focus your study efforts)
  • A pricing breakdown (Spoiler alert- You should NOT “wing” this test)
  • How studying the CCRN questions can help you tremendously in preparing for your CRNA school interview
  • A breakdown of extra certifications you can pursue to boost your application


Happy testing, and go shine bright, future CRNA!
