| Posted over 4 years ago That website will give you the information your seeking but you have to be prepared to take the exam. You have to meet certain requirements and then study for the exam. I forget how many hours you need in critical care to meet the requirement. If you join the AACN the exam price is a little cheaper. I am currently studying for the exam and hope to ready by mid next year to take the test. Good luck! |

| Posted over 4 years ago The hours are listed under eligibility. you may have missed it if you were browsing. I copied the info. below: "Critical care practice as a registered nurse is required for 1,750 hours in direct bedside care of (adult, neonatal or pediatric) acutely or critically ill patients during the 2-year period preceding date of application, with 875 of those hours accrued in the most recent year preceding application. All 1,750 hours must be in care of same patient population (for example, for the adult CCRN exam, all 1,750 hours must be caring for acutely/critically ill adult patients). Clinical practice hours accrued in an undergraduate student role are NOT acceptable." Hope that helps. HMJensen |
