PCCN Certification Review Webinar

About AACN’s live PCCN Certification Review Webinar

AACN is pleased to offer a live, Web-based review course for nurses seeking PCCN certification, including those who provide care to acutely ill adult patients in progressive care settings such as telemetry, step-down, high acuity medical-surgical and direct observation units.

This comprehensive review course fully aligns with the new PCCN test plan, helping prospective PCCN candidates better prepare for success by reaffirming clinical knowledge and removing uncertainty about what to expect. Join colleagues in the AACN community to prepare for the exam or just brush up on clinical core content.

Comprised of seven live webinar sessions, the course covers all test-related topic areas, including cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurologic, renal, gastrointestinal, hematology, endocrine, multisystem, behavioral considerations, professional caring practice and the AACN Synergy Model for Patient Care, plus test-taking tips.

Each 2.5-hour session features topic-specific content, review questions, live polling and text chat with the presenter.

The course offers a total of 15.1 contact hours of continuing nursing education credit and also includes handouts with supporting information (a link to handouts will be provided in your confirmation email; handouts will be available at least a week prior to the first session).

The review course is suitable for both individual and group participation. Internet access is required.
