Holy hell, I'm glad that's done.

Legit thought this was harder than CFRN. Nice work

I just so happen to be starting a RN program this October.

Should have taken it after the RN program. Way easier once you have the nursing stuff down from that. I swear the HESI tests were harder.

Dude, CFRN was SO much easier.

How so? If you don’t mind me asking

It's been a long time since I've done either. But I did both back to back. They had lots of ovelap but I think because nursing throws in a dumb nursing specific section (ethics, autonomy, justice, et al) it reduces the amount of difficult questions they can throw at you.

From what I recall the FP-C had way more hemodynamic questions. Like what does this SVR, PA wedge pressure, etc, indicate? What type of shock are they in?

Or a complex scenario with a random: What would this do to a oxygen dissociation curve if they had this 2-3 DPG?

And lots of balloon pump timing questions.

The CCRN was harder than the CFRN for me personally

Hey thanks!

That makes sense. And I can see why that would make the FP-C seem harder. Either way that is one hell of an achievement
