Letters of Recommendation 

What professionals are saying about the GRIT CCRN Exam Prep Course...

Kudos to Grit Nursing!  During my thirty-year span in nursing, I've never encountered such a comprehensive and well-designed course. Danielle's breadth of knowledge coupled with her ability to unpack and convey complex information that is easy to understand and moreover, actually retain, make Grit Nursing the must have tool for everyone in the ICU setting.   From newly minted graduates to seasoned veterans, this is an excellent opportunity to absorb new information or reinforce your knowledge base. Whether you are pursuing the CCRN credential, looking for in-depth continuing education or simply want to expand your knowledge of critical care, Grit Nursing has got you covered at every turn. This is the way.

Practical, short videos very straight to the point-no fluff, with recap notes/downloadable files, case studies, and TONS of questions to practice with clear and easy to understand explanations!!! This isn't your typical CCRN review, it integrates real-life scenarios, it is clear, and incredibly relevant to everyday ICU practice. Each lesson was paired with recap notes, downloadable resources, and real-life case studies that make complex concepts easy to understand and enjoyable to learn!!  I was surprised when I came across Danielle during a school lecture on hypothermia, and her explanation of targeted temperature management (TTM) was, by far, the most straightforward and memorable I’ve ever heard. Whether you’re preparing to ace the CCRN exam or looking for a practical, comprehensive ICU refresher, I HIGHLY recommend GRIT Nursing. It breaks down every system with clarity and real-world application, which is what we need as ICU nurses!! Honestly, this course should be part of every ICU nurse’s training-it’s that good. 100% recommend!!!

As a nursing faculty member, I’m always on the lookout for high-quality resources to recommend to students and this CCRN review product stands out. It offers a comprehensive and well-organized approach to exam prep, including high-yield videos, clear study guides, and thoughtfully designed practice questions that cover all content areas tested on the CCRN. For anyone preparing for this exam, I highly recommend it. It’s a worthwhile investment in your success.

Danielle Hardin’s CCRN Review is an exceptional resource for mastering critical care nursing. It combines clear explanations of pathophysiology with practical treatment insights, making complex concepts accessible and memorable. Key Features Comprehensive Coverage - Covers all major critical care topics—from cardiovascular and pulmonary emergencies to neurocritical care and multisystem failure. Targeted Teaching Tactics - Uses vivid patient scenarios and real-world examples to illustrate clinical decision-making in high-pressure situations. Structured Outlines - Presents information in concise, easy-to-recall formats, empowering learners to quickly retrieve essential facts at exam time or in practice. Practice Questions and Tests - Includes chapter-level quizzes and full-length practice exams that mirror the CCRN format, helping you identify knowledge gaps and build confidence. Why This Review Stands Out Patient-Centered Examples - Brings pathophysiology to life by showing how theory applies at the bedside. Focus on Retention - Memorable mnemonics and outline boxes reinforce the most testable points. Exam Readiness - Authentic practice items ensure you’re familiar with question style, pacing, and difficulty before test day. Whether you’re preparing for the CCRN exam or simply deepening your critical care expertise, Danielle Hardin’s CCRN Review is a must-have. Its blend of thorough content, engaging teaching methods, and robust practice materials sets you up for success in both the classroom and the ICU.
