Failed crne 3 x

World Canada CRNE

Published

Im aware Im not alone with failing the crne 3 times, but Im just looking for others out there as well! Just to see what has happened for them and where life ended up taking them. I failed the last two attempts by 1%. I recieved a letter about a committee having a meeting and will send me a letter ..not sure about what or if it will be anything positive :no: I emailed a letter only because my family was begging me not to give up.. i think i may have submitted it a bit late but i sent one anyways. I had nothing happen to me that would have affected my studying so I wrote them an honest email about how hard and dedicated i was to my studying, how i took a course in toronto, used a variety of texts and took other courses to help me, how i was on the deans honor roll, etc etc.

But anyways, just looking for others out there like me.. its devasting absolutely, but i have to believe there is something bigger and better out there for me. AND everything happens for a reason.

How come?

What are you referring to?

IENs are a totally different story than what I am talking about. I have met RNs from other countries who are working as RPNs here. I know nothing about that process.

If a graduate of a Canadian BScN program fails the CNRE 3x, they are not eligible to sit for the CPNRE as a consolidation prize. I just confirmed this by calling the CNO and speaking with a representative.

How come they are not eligible for CPRNE? Did I miss anything?

Because they attended school to become an RN, with the ultimate goal being to sit for and pass the CNRE (now NCLEX), not to become an RPN and write the CPNRE.

I thought that was the other option from CNO if people weren't successful 3x?

No. It is not an option. BScN holders get three shots at the CNRE and that is it. Unless granted a fourth write due to extenuating circumstances, which I've heard is quite rare. Writing the CPNRE is not an option as you have to have a Practical Nursing diploma to qualify.

Again, I'm not referring to IENs, I'm aware that is different.

Does CNO still have this policy? I missed 3x on CRNE, but I passed first time on NCLEX, having written it in US. It seems other provinces are strict on 3 strikes policy; e.g., AB and SK

Yes. Even if passed the NCLEX in the US you would need to appeal to CNO to get them to accept a 4th attempt even though you passed
