Who Should Take the Course?
Whether you’re responsible for providing direct care or influencing the care provided to acutely/critically ill adult patients, our online review course helps support your certification journey. It is an ideal study resource for nurses considering CCRN Adult certification via any pathway option:
- CCRN Direct Care Pathway – For nurses who provide direct care to acutely/critically ill adult patients
- CCRN Tele-critical Care Pathway – For nurses who work in a tele-critical care ICU setting, monitoring and caring for acutely/critically ill adult patients from a remote location
- CCRN Knowledge Professional Pathway – For nurses who influence the care delivered to acutely/critically ill adult patients, but do not primarily or exclusively provide direct care
Please note: The course still references the former CCRN-E and CCRN-K credential titles, which are now CCRN – Tele-critical Care Pathway and CCRN – Knowledge Professional Pathway, respectively. This does not impact the course content, which aligns with the Exam Test Plan for the certifications noted above.
