What Others are Saying About this Course!
Jen. F, Atlantic City, NJ

The CCRN® Review Course is a structured, high-yield review designed for working nurses who want a realistic, clinically grounded path to certification—without wasting time on low-yield content. The course is delivered as recorded live sessions you can watch on demand, so you get the energy and pacing of a live review with the flexibility to pause, rewind, and revisit tricky concepts on your schedule.
The course includes several modules that follow the most recent AACN Adult CCRN® exam guidelines, focusing on clinical judgment, recognizing patterns, and exam strategies, so you’re not just memorizing facts; you’re learning to think like the test and like an ICU nurse under pressure.
Whether you’re preparing for CCRN® or you just need a serious critical care refresher, this course is built to help you:
Organize and review core ICU and progressive care concepts
Connect physiology to real clinical scenarios
Recognize AACN’s favorite testing patterns
Walk into the exam with a calmer and more structured approach
This review is built as a multi-lesson, system-based course that aligns with the Adult CCRN® exam blueprint.
Professional Caring & Ethical Practice: Advocacy, systems thinking, communication, diversity, collaboration, clinical inquiry
and much more…
Meet your instructor
Lee Taylor-Vaughan, PhD, JD, AG-ACNP, CCRN-CSC-CMC, PCCN, CFRN, has more than 30 years in emergency and critical care and currently practices as an acute care NP in a cardiothoracic surgery ICU in the NYC metro area. Lee has taught over 100,000 nurses over the years and has co-authored the nationally recognized CCRN® and CEN® review books.
What makes Lee the perfect instructor is that every time his certification is due for renewal, he retakes the CCRN exam. That means what he teaches is based on clinical practice and the current exam, not a memory of how it felt decades ago. His clinical approach, top-exam tips, and sense of humor will help you pass!
