Need help understanding difficult concepts in nursing? Nurse Jenny is here! I'm looking to make a difference in nurses and nursing students' lives by creating easy-to-digest information. I hold my MSN in Nursing Education and am currently an ICU nurse, a clinical instructor, and a DNP student. Let me know if you have any questions or if there's any other content you'd like to see! :) Good luck to everyone on their nursing journey, thank you for all you do. This channel is for educational purposes. While I strive for the utmost accuracy, errors may occur, and information may change over time. Thank you for your understanding. ~Nurse Jenny
Thank you very much Nurse Jenny. I just passed my CCRN exam. Your YT review is very helpful, I watched all of it and took notes. I also reviewed Barron’s.
I passed my CCRN test today!! Your videos were great, and i specifically wanted to thank you on the hemodynamics portion, i finally understood after you went over it. You made things easy to connect and understand. Thanks Nurse Jenny!!!
Happy to add myself to the list of people that passed! I owe my passing in big part to your content because up until I discovered your channel a couple weeks ago, I could not wrap my head around hemodynamic numbers and MI/EKG interpretation. Your explanations of all the content is so easy to digest and your tricks to remember things stuck in my head during the test, many of your practice questions were the same as ones I did in barrons book and AACN question bank so it’s good quality practice too! Thank you so much for your knowledge nurse Jenny!!
Also wanted to add, cardiac was my best category and I only missed 3 questions there, which I didn’t think would’ve been possible before watching your videos!
I had two questions on the CCRN where it asked about a patient who was admitted for dka because he wasn't taking his insulin because he had moments of hypoglycemia when he did. Would you contact the diabetic educator (because maybe he isn't administering his insulin properly) Or would you contact the endocrinologist. I can't remember the specifics about the other question but the two answers I was between was the diabetic educator or the endocrinologist. when would you contact one over the other.
That's a great question! With the information that you mentioned, I would probably lean towards contacting the endocrinologist. With the patient stating he has moments of hypoglycemia, it leads me to believe that perhaps there needs to be adjustment in the insulin dosing. I would be interested to see the correct answer and rationale, though! In real life, it would certainly be beneficial to consult both to give the patient the best possible outcomes going forward. I hope that helps!
I watched all of these videos the last few days and just passed my CCRN!!!! Nurse Jenny I swear I heard your voice and helpful rationales with like 90% of the questions I saw on my exam. I can’t thank you enough you are AMAZING
for question #15, I immediately removed choice C because pt. is hypotensive and one of the options was vasodilators in C. Can you explain why this would still be the correct answer, considering that a vasodilator would potentially make the hypotension worse? I understand that this pt. is presenting as cardiogenic shock/HF and would need preload and afterload reduction, but was thrown off by other data in the question. Thanks in advane!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE VIDEOS!! I passed because of you for real!! I’ve always been an auditory learner and your videos were the perfect addition to the barrons book. I’ve even shown newer nurses on my unit some of these videos as good intros to concepts
Passed today thanks to you Nurse Jenny! Even with an entire HOUR of my time lost when the internet went out at the testing center but somehow my time clock kept ticking! All I got when it came back up and saw that the hour had still been taken from my time was "do the best you can." Talk about stressed out 😂
ALRIGHT!!! Add another RN subscriber to the PASSED list!!! The updated exam for 2024 was HARD! But waiting for the calculation of your exam and then seeing those words "PASS" ss your heart is pounding out of your chest at the end was worth it!! Thank you because you made topics that I was struggling with very simple. My hardest subject was Cardiac and that was my second highest scoring! Now, on the the Trauma Cert!!! THANK YOU!!!
Tq Nurse Jenny❤. My colleague recommended your youtube channel and he passed thanks to u. Am planning to sit for ccrn exam, Lots of love from Riyadh Saudi Arabia. May I know which book u recommend so I can practice more question like your channel please with a good explanation like you please.
Hi! I definitely recommend Barron's Adult CCRN Exam --the one with three 150-question practice tests for in-depth information and lots of practice questions. Good luck to you! :)
Nurse Jenny I take my exam this Friday 🥹! My coworker shared your videos with me and I am so thankful to her. Your videos are awesome. I’ve been utilizing the Barron’s book and I have been using your videos to reinforce what I’ve studied. You do an awesome job at explaining the rationales and then summarizing the topic on a slide. Thank you 🙌🏽. I’ll let you know how I do!
Nurse Jenny I just passed my CCRN 🎉🙌🏽! I was the most terrified of cardiology but that was my best scoring topic. If you guys are planning to take the CCRN, watch all of these videos. The question format is very similar. The ethical/professional questions were the hardest lol.
Jenny!! I watched all of your videos and I passed the CCRN today! My best categories were respiratory and cardiac which is all due to you!! Thank you! 😊 🙏
You can use these questions for the PCCN exam, however, there will be some things that I cover which wouldn't be on the PCCN as it pertains only to critical care. But most of the information is applicable!
I just found out that I passed my CCRN exam today. Thank You nurse Jenny for all your videos. It has tremendously helped me study along with Barron. Keep continuing what you're doing. Stay awesome❤❤
Hi Jenny! I love you videos, I’m trying to watch dynamics part one, but there is no volume at all, when I watch part 2 I can hear you. Is there anything I can do to be able to listen to your video???
Unfortunately for the first few videos, I didn't realize I had the "mono" option on which only defaults to one ear. If you're listening on headphones, try the other earpiece? Or you can listen through a computer! So sorry about that, but hopefully that solves the problem.
I would think so! As an RRT RN, are you spending most of your time in direct patient care of critically ill patients? In the facility I work at, the rapid response nurses would meet the requirements for critical care experience required by the AACN. You can do either the 2-year plan requiring 1750 hours in the past two years, or the 5-year plan requiring 2,000 within the last five years. Hope that helps.
Omg! Another great lectures!!!! You are awesome!You just unlocked my years on confusion on this topic. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. You have the ability to explain things so clearly!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
If you're listening on headphones, try utilizing both of the headphones or try playing the audio through a computer. I know it's not ideal but when I recorded some of my first videos, I accidentally chose the mono option which defaults to one headphone. So sorry!
Not sure how I exactly found your lecture videos, but I strongly believe they’re one of the main reasons why I passed the exam with less than a week of preparation. Thank you so much!
Thank you Nurse Jenny for creating this amazing CCRN review. It helped me a lot together with Barron, I passed my exam today. Words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you so much.😘😘😘
The trend of PAOP readings in ARDS has been disputed as more evidence has come out. But generally speaking (for the CCRN), a PAOP greater than 18 mmHg would be cardiac in origin while ARDS patients would have elevated PAOPs but they would be <18. In clinical practice, it seems that this may vary, but for the CCRN, I would stick to this information. Hope that helps!
Your review videos for the CCRN are very helpful! I passed my exam today and wanted to thank you! I encourage you to keep making more content! You’re very good at it. This is by far the best review I came across on RU-vid!
Thank you Nurse Jenny for your awesome videos!! I passed my CCRN exam today. All of your videos were extremely helpful, especially this one! Thanks for all you do!!
Hi nurse Jenny. Thank you for these informative videos. I watched all your videos and your method of explanation helped me think through the questions during the exam. I took my CCRN in March and did exceptionally well. Please keep up the good works. I have given my friends the link to your channel and they will be visiting!
While both parents "appear to be proficient", they may not be, which can be assumed by their minimal responsiveness. To ensure that they understand, the best choice would be to utilize an interpreter to not leave room for uncertainty.
Thank you nurse Jenny for all of your informational videos. I passed the CCRN using Barron's book and flashcards and watching your videos. You are a great teacher and I love your explanations and charts. So helpful!
Omg Nurse Jenny, Your voice was in my head the time I was taking my exam today. "Make it Happen for end of Life." I passed on my first try. Thanks soooo much. Your videos really helpful.
