Pass CCRN®! is the ultimate resource for nurses preparing to take the Critical Care Nursing Certification Examination. This book contains a review of critical care nursing and practice questions and answers designed to prepare nurses to earn AACN certification (or renew AACN certification) by passing the required exam. Utilizing an outline format and the revised blueprint, published in 2004, for the certification examination, it's the easy to follow, comprehensive and portable, quick-study tool that nurses can take anywhere.

  • Appendixes on normal laboratory values and frequently used formulae are invaluable for review and reference.


  • Follows the 2006 AACN exam blueprint with a guide to the new exam printed inside the front cover of the book for quick reference.
  • Offers significantly updated content throughout, including new information on abdominal surgery, anemias, beating-heart surgery, enteral feeding, pain management, spiritual aspects of care, and more.
  • The completely restructured bound-in CD offers endless practice exams from a bank of over 1,000 questions, self-assessment quizzes by body system or chapter, customizable quizzes with instant feedback on answers with detailed rationales and test-taking strategies.
  • A new chapter on Critical Care Pharmacology provides review of the most common medications.
  • Features new illustrations in every chapter to bring the information to life.
  • Includes new information on critical care patients with special needs, to help readers care for bariatric and geriatric patients, high-risk obstetric patients, and others.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I did VERY well thanks to this book!!!
Thanks to this book (and this book ALONE) I'm a CCRN! I only used this book to study and did very well on the CCRN


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Exception Review for CCRN Exam
I purchased this review book for a colleague as a gift. I used a prior addition in the past and successfully passed the CCRN exam. Robin Dennison has creative ways of chunking and presenting "need to know" information. I highly suggest this book if you or your fellow ICU nurses want to successfully pass the exam. It's well worth the price!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book
I have this book and the review book from the AACN. Pass CCRN is a much easier read. I use it to study and as a reference for my work. I highly recommend Pass CCRN.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - CD of questions worth its weight in gold
If you are searching for a reference to use to actually pass the CCRN certification, the CD of questions which comes with this reference is the real star of the show. I work with many other nurses who have and are currently pursuing their CCRN, on a nursing forum, and over the past year, we have found that the scores that one achieves on this CD almost exactly correlates to the actual exam!! Personally, I was getting 85% on the Dennison CD and I got 85% on the CCRN exam. This CD will let you ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - good dvd, not so great book.........
I liked the dvd that comes with this book and actually enjoyed practicing taking the computer test. The book, however was overboard in relation to what you need to know for the exam. I hated the crossword puzzles and word searches in review section. I don't think I'm wrong to assume that us reading these books are busy ICU nurses who don;'t have time to play games and would rather just have practice test questions!!! like I said, the dvd was great for that reason.....
