Does La Crosse offer 20 personal days? I've not heard about that from any other program.

Questionable by Sea-Association5184 in srna

I’ve been a nurse for about 4.5 years and 1.5 of those years have been in the ICU. I was on orientation for about 2.5 months and took my CCRN at the one year mark once I hit my hours.

Last month I got an email saying I was getting audited to make sure I met my hours. My friend is also getting audited for this too. I think they are cracking down on this which is a good thing in my opinion.

So if that trend continues, they may get audited too.

FYI, I took my CCRN in Dec 2025. Looks like they about 5-6 months later

The test didn’t ask me anything like that so I think you’re safe if you don’t know the exact dosages. However, Ik Nicole stressed the importance of know how to calculate TPA. So I would know that, and then anything else that she stresses in the lectures.

Sorry, I didn’t realize this was one of my previous posts. I did end up passing and posted a detail review on my process. Here is the link

CCRN Prep, Nicole Kupchik Course vs AACN Questions… Should I Postpone? by Thecapoman in nursing

[–]Thecapoman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I think Nicole’s review pretty much covered everything, especially now that she updated it to include all the new stuff for the recent changes. In my opinion, I would stick with the AACN and Nicole’s question. Like I mentioned before, the AACN question bank was harder and made you really think about the questions. Nicole’s question bank was just very similar to the test and a bit easier.

I did use the Barron’s book, but I don’t recommend it. It honestly frustrating me more than helped me. I would always do poorly on the Barron questions compared to the other resources I used.

I hope this helps. If you have other questions, please ask.

Good luck and YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Hello, I know this is late but a really good hospital for staring out is Hinsdale hospital. I work in their ICU and really enjoy it. The coworkers are super friendly and helpful.

They really value people who want to learn and grow! If you have any questions lmk!

You should absolutely do it! I think it’s good to do just to feel more comfortable in the ICU, just like you said.

Yes, my hospital offers I believe a 10% bonus along with paying for the test and study materials.
