AACN Adult CCRN/CCRN-E/CCRN-K Certification Review 1.1

There are several navigation tools available as you work through course materials.

• Topic navigation. Navigate through the topics by using the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen, or the Menu tab located on the left-hand side of the screen.

  

• Resources. View a listing of any recommended external resources by clicking Resources located in the upper-right corner of the screen. Selecting any of these options displays the content in a new browser window. This section can be referenced at any page in the module.

  

• Help. Selecting Help located in the top-right corner of the page displays a list of technical support contacts. This section can be referenced on any location throughout the module.

  

• Completion Status. Each topic has a status bar associated with it. As the topic nears completion, the gray status bar fills to blue.

  

• Module list and status details. In the Module List window, selecting a module from the list on the left side displays the module's details on the right side. The Status field reads “completed” for every module you have successfully completed and saved.

  

  For modules that have been started but not completed, the Status displays as "incomplete".

  

  If a module has not yet been started, it reads "not attempted".

  

  The Score field ALWAYS reads as zero. You may view your score from your Completions section after taking the test.

After launching the course module, the course home page is displayed. From here, you may begin reviewing the course materials by clicking the Launch Course button in the Launch Course section.

1. Upon launch, the course displays the Module Selection page. Clicking a module title in the left side of the Module List displays its details and current status in the right side of the page.

   

2. Clicking Launch Lesson on the course details area starts the lesson by opening the course content in a new window.

   

3. Proceed through the module topics. Upon reaching the end of a topic, use the Next button on the bottom of the screen to advance to the next topic. Clicking the Back button or a bookmark title in the left-hand column displays previous slides.

   

4. You will occasionally need to answer review questions throughout each module. These questions do not affect your final grade, so give your best answer. Regardless of whether you are correct or not, the correct response is explained in detail in the next slide.

   

5. After all topics are complete (or if you simply want to exit the course), select the Exit link in the upper-right corner to close the course and save your progress.

   

   Note: Selecting Exit closes the course with no warning pop-up. However, upon reopening the module, the topic resumes from the last page viewed.

6. Repeat this process for all modules in the Module List window until the entire course is complete.

   Note: Upon closing the module window and returning to the module list, you will need to click Refresh for the course status to display any updated details. However, even if you don't refresh your status here, your current status remains saved.

A completion certificate is available upon successful completion of the course. View or print this documentation by following these steps.
