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!

how do you fail 3 times?

its a thread about helping not criticizing, go elsewhere for that.

What is the name of the school? And is it in Alberta?

I've been lurking this post and really appalled at how judgemental some people could be!!!Hope you all never fine yourselves in suck a situation !!

Your questions is rather judgemental and insensitive, there are many reasons why people could fail 3x .

The poster asked a legitimate question. Failing three times may be an indication of some serious deficiencies.

If this were a psychosocial type question on the CRNE, "how do you fail 3 times" may be a correct answer, but not the BEST answer. And the rationale? LabellaRN explains it well.

When I was doing CRNE practice questions, such answers are direct and straight forward and may appear to be the correct answer. However, they are wrong because they are judgmental and insensitive (as said by LabellaRN).

Hi, I have been reading through your post and threads and I know you posted your blog back in 2010 but I am going through the same exact situation as you. I feel for you and I hope that things are looking up for you now. I would like to talk to you privately this is my email address [email protected], I just want to tak with someone who has gone through the same pain and frustration as I did. I took the CRNE twice and I was part of the group that was transitioning into the NCLEX type exam. I took it last Jorificeary 2015 and found out In Feb that I didnt pass. I am so incredibly ashamed. Anything that has to do with nursing and healthcare just hurts me so so much. As of right now I am just trying to look for employment to be able to start paying off my loans and bills. My dream was to get my license and hopefully transfer over to the USA since my partner is currently residing in Florida. So again so much frustration and emotions I am feeling. I would really love to talk with you, or if there is anyone in this chat or blog that is willing to talk and listen my e-mail address is there.

Thank you
