Frequently Asked Questions

The CCRN (Critical Care Registered Nurse) certification is a specialty credential for nurses who provide direct care to critically ill adult patients. It demonstrates expertise in critical care nursing and is widely recognized in the healthcare industry.

The CCRN exam has 150 multiple-choice questions. Of these, 125 are scored and 25 are unscored pretest items being evaluated for future exams. You have 3 hours to complete the entire exam.

The CCRN uses a scaled scoring system. You generally need approximately 70-75% correct answers on the scored questions to pass. The exact cut score is determined by psychometric analysis and may vary slightly between exam versions.

The CCRN exam covers 8 major body systems: Cardiovascular (17%), Respiratory (15%), Endocrine (4%), Hematology/Immunology (3%), Neurology (12%), Gastrointestinal (6%), Renal (6%), and Multisystem/Behavioral (17%). The remaining 20% covers professional caring and ethical practice.

Register directly through the official CCRN certification website. The exam fee is approximately $250-$370 depending on membership status. You can take it at a PSI testing center or via live remote proctoring.
