Before the Morning (Failed CRNE three times. what now?)

World Canada CRNE

Published

I just received a bad news. My nursing career is over. Yes, I am no longer one of you, but I feel a need to share my story. I have failed the CRNE for the third time and honestly, I don't know what is there left for me. I know things happen for a reason. sometimes, i just think that GOD is being so unfair. Throughout my nursing school, all i did was to do my best both theory and clinical. I have received praises being a "very good" Graduate Nurse. But then again, all has to end with an examination that I can't seem to pass even though I have put my thoughts and heart on preparing for it. At some point, I think of myself as a dumb individual, up for no good. If nursing was not meant for me, why did HE made it possible for me to even complete my Degree Program? I have so many questions to GOD right now. I have prayed hard for that moment of finally receiving a letter with the word "PASS" on it, but instead a phone call saying I have failed on my third attempt and had to wait for a letter containing my options.

Nursing Has always been my dream and I can't see myself pursuing other career in life. I don't think I can handle another 4 years of schooling or even the strength to even try to put my life back on track. I know that God has a reason for why I'm going through this test right now (one I consider the hardest test in my life, so far), and probably there is more to come. I have so much faith in him that in spite it all, I still look forward to that one morning of waking up from my sleep and the pain, the sadness, the sufferings are over. I know that HE works in ways unimaginable. I know that he hears my prayer and in his own time he'll grant those prayers. But for now, all I needed is some sort of encouragement from you, whoever you are reading this post right now.

I still thank GOD because I have my life, I am breathing, I can still appreciate all the good things he had created. As long as there is tomorrow, I will continue to fight a good fight!

I need help my OSCE in august

Hi there could i have some information regarding the route to take to making an appeal for fourth write in british columbia i did my exams in ontario and failed three times, my option now is trying to appeal in bc. my email adddress is [email protected]. thanks so much

A friend of mine went through the same situation as you and all i could do to her was be there for her in times of sorrows but know that you STILL can be a nurse just like my friend. She took the CPRNE exam and passed. She is now a nurse and we both work together. All you need is a good friend to help you go through your situation and push yourself to achieve that dream. And as some of the ppl said, assess yourself first of you have any of those anxieties when you take tests. Good luck and PUSH! = Pray Until Something Happens!

survivor007, how do i go about asking a fourth attempt in british columbia? i wrote my exams in ontario and failed three times

You have to contact CRNBC and ask them what their process is. They'll have a number of criteria for granting a review of your situation that most members here will have no information about - and every case is different. They're going to want some VERY solid reasons why you should be permitted a fourth attempt at the exam. The usual I-didn't-study-hard-enough, I-wasn't-feeling-well-the-day-of-the-exam, I-had-personal-problems-I-was-dealing-with kinds of reasons aren't going to be good enough. So get on the phone, call the registrar's office at CRNBC and ask them what you have to do. Asking about it here isn't going to get you anywhere.

Janfrn, thanks for your reply i will call and get some information from crnbc

I find this site very informative. However over the past few years there have definitely been several members who come off extremely arrogant. I respect that they may have YEARS of nursing experience and are very knowledgeable about the nursing profession. These members unfortunately do fit the saying, "Nurses eat their own young".

When i first joined this site i was floored at how "nasty" these members where. I agree with you and over the years I have also expressed some harsh words with these members, we seem to ignore each other now and that has been working well. I find the USA section is more accommodating, encouraging, upbeat and overall more positive energy is shared. Ive recently started to post again and have found a small shift in the perception of these members there a lot more "nicer" to some of the IEN's and those that have failed CRNE.

I think sometimes the written word is easily misunderstood and that most of the members here try very hard to be helpful. THere are some who have direct and to the point advice but I appreciate the candor of the response.

I began reading different threads on this site in 2011 as I was interested in the nursing field. I was indeed surprised with some of the responses, and at times would wonder how a supportive thread can easily turn the other way. Other than that, many members are very supportive and I do appreciate this site.
