CPNRE - January 11th, 2012

World Canada CRNE

Published

Without talking about specific material from the exam of course, discuss how you found the exam? Difficulty level? Did the CPNRE prep manual/predictor test compare to the exam itself?

Also, feel free to post results here, when they arrive of course!

This is also the first writing of the "new" CPNRE. Prior to yesterdays writing, the exam was 8 hours long, divided into 2 booklets, rather than 4 hours and 1 booklet. As far as the content and difficulty level of this exam compared to those prior, I'm not sure if that changed as well.

I personally found the exam to be a bit more difficult than the practice exam in the CPNRE prep guide, as well as the online predictor test. I scored %95-%100 on the predictor tests, which means it concluded I have a 95-100 % chance of passing the CPNRE. I found the answers in the prep guide and the predictor test to be fairly obvious, where as on the actual CPNRE, I read a lot of questions, thought I knew the answer before looking at the available choices, but once seeing the options I wasn't so sure anymore.

Through my PN course I averaged a mixture of high 70s and low 80s during finals but I must say, I have no idea how I did on this exam. It's really one of those exams where I either did extremely well, or failed miserably. At least that's how it feels!

I wish everyone the best of luck and I hope we all get that PASS letter in the mail!

Keep us posted & share your thoughts here! :)

you can purchase it at your college campus book store, or on the ASI website at:

where do you live?

I'd assume everyone should have received their letter by now. I'd call the CNO (or regulating board if you live in a different province) and ask if yours was mailed out.

Recieved my registration number by email, looked myself up on Find a Nurse and there I was...... entitled to practice with no restrictions. Wow, two years of school, stress, hard work and writing the CPNRE twice and I finally made it. Time to look for a job :yeah: Good luck to those who have not recieved their letter yet or those who will be rewriting. I believe that everyone can do it.

has anyone not received their registration number yet? I sent in my payment/form 2 weeks ago today & I still don't see myself on CNO's find a nurse page, nor has my credit card been charged yet.

I've been on hold with the CNO for about 20 minutes as of right now, still waiting to get through to someone.

Same here. I sent my forms on Feb 15. I called them yesterday regarding the situation and they told me that although my police check went through, my registration wasn't processed yet and my CC wasn't charged yet. She told me that if there are any problems with the registration, CNO will contact me immediately.

PS.. I waited atleast an hour on the phone to finally talk to someone.. ugh.

Maybe give it some more time since they are probably bombarded with these registration forms from eager RPN's to begin looking for a job.

I ended up finally getting through to someone after 47 minutes & they said their computers don't show my application as received yet (even though I mailed it 2 weeks ago) they told me to call back Friday to check again.

I have two part-time jobs waiting for my registration number so I can begin working, so it's frustrating.
