5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it for the CD, September 3, 2009
This review is from: AACN Certification and Core Review for High Acuity and Critical Care, 6e (Paperback)
I bought several items to study for the CCRN. I found the CD for this book (it comes with it) to be the most helpful part of my preparation for the test. Since AACN puts this out, I assumed the practice test questions would be more indicative of what I would find on the actual CCRN test and this turned out to be correct. I highly recommend using the CD for most of your practice question review. The rationale section teaches you how AACN wants you to answer these questions. I passed with an overall score of 89% and scored a 100% on many sections with 95% on cardiac and over 90% on pulmonary. I also used the Pass CCRN materials and found the review book to have way too much information than necessary. I thought the CD portion was very helpful, but the practice questions were a lot harder than what you'll find on the actual test. It's a great resource to have on hand, but I'd recommend you invest in a good review series like a DVD review from Laura Gasparis or David Woodruff's series ([...]). I used Woodruff's series mainly for the bulk of the review. He has an iPod series that has all the basic information you need to pass the test while Pass CCRN is a complete comprehensive review of topics that will never show up on the CCRN. I usually recommend to friends that they get an overall review like Gasparis or Woodruff, and this AACN book with the CD to practice questions. Good luck!

3.0 out of 5 stars CCRN REVIEW, August 28, 2007
By 
This review is from: AACN Certification and Core Review for High Acuity and Critical Care, 6e (Paperback)
Good Study Guide. I would suggest this book after you have taken a CCRN review course. This book is just questions, so if you need to know in what area you need more practice this book is not for you. Overall okay book.

5.0 out of 5 stars not a refrence, just questions! Very Helpful!!!, December 1, 2008
This review is from: AACN Certification and Core Review for High Acuity and Critical Care, 6e (Paperback)
Don't buy this book as a reference. It is only Questions. Between the book and CD u get about 1200 questions. I just passed the exam w/ 90% right. The questions in this book are MORE difficult than the actual CCRN questions. This book is an excellet resource! I highly recomend it!
