CCRN Prep by nursing.com is the focused review course built for working ICU and CCU nurses who are serious about passing the CCRN — not just studying for it. Know exactly where you stand. Your readiness score updates after every lesson and quiz. Not a generic progress bar — a weighted score built on the actual AACN exam blueprint, so you always know what's moving your number and what isn't. Start with your biggest gap. Every time you open the app, it tells you where your knowledge is weakest relative to the exam. No guessing what to study next. No wasted time on what you already know. Real video content from nursing.com. Not flashcards. Not question banks alone. Full video lessons taught by Laura Gasparis Vonfrolio, the most trusted name in critical care nursing education, organized by the same blueprint the AACN uses to write the actual exam. Study in the time you have. Lessons run 4 to 25 minutes. Built for 12-hour shift workers who study between patients, before bed, and on their days off. Pick up exactly where you left off. Quiz yourself. Review what you missed. After each lesson, take a short quiz to lock in the content. Missed questions go straight to your Review tab so nothing falls through the cracks. Retake any quiz to watch your accuracy climb. What's inside: 75 video lessons across 9 CCRN exam sections Personalized readiness score weighted by AACN exam frequency Gap-first home screen — always shows your weakest area first Quiz accuracy tracking by topic Missed question review queue Lesson outline with clinical bullet points for each video Study streak and session tracking Exam countdown Sections covered: Cardiovascular · Respiratory · Neurological · Multisystem · Behavioral & Psychosocial · Renal & Genitourinary · Gastrointestinal · Endocrine · Hematology & Immunology The readiness score is an in-app learning benchmark.
