Pass CCRN, 3rd Edition PDF

Hi, I wanted to add my input as a newly passed CCRN (1/2012). I looked in these Amazon reviews and on allnurses.com for lots of tips and hopefully I can add a few as well. This review covers the PASS CCRN! book as well as my other methods, etc.

About Me:
I scored 111/125. In school I was a 4.0 student and have 1.5 years experience in MICU and SICU. Most days, if I see something I'm not entirely familiar with, I make a note of it and look it up when I get home. This is the first exam I've ever taken where I had NO IDEA how I was doing as I was taking the test.

About the Exam:
There were many questions, approx 30-40 questions that were pretty obvious. Another 30-40 were more the type I had to think about and work through the patho. But the other 75 OMG! I had no idea. It was as if none of the answers were right and I had to choose the least harmful one or the one that looked like it was talking about the right topic. No joke!
It was heavy on cardiac drugs, specifically in combination with each other. I'm good with lungs, but there were some not-so-realistic scenarios that made the answer choices tough.

Prep:
PASS CCRN: Ignored the book mostly - did the CD practice questions for 3 weeks. I think the formatting of the practice questions is a good warm up for the actual exam, but still the specific questions weren't that well matched to the exam. I would say that reading and understanding the rationales of these questions lead me to learn/look-up more info that was the type which appeared on my test. The book was used mostly as reference to look up items I wanted a deeper understanding of following cursory look-up on the internet and reading/re-reading the rationales.
