CRNE preparation advices needed

Hi Jan, I am a philippine educated nurse can I just work as a graduate nurse in canada without taking the exam there?
Thanks

No, you can't. You would never get a work permit to come over here and work without a license for any great length of time especially if you have no intention of writing the CRNE and becoming registered. There is no shortage of unlicensed personnel and the importation of health care providers from other countries is intended to provide registered nurses to fill the gaps while our education programs get caught up. It's all or nothing.

If you get a temp work permit you will find that you have to sit the exam within a certain period of time and pass the exam. As Jan states there is no shortage of unlicensed personnel and Canada is looking for the most part on skilled workers

Hi every one ,
I'm here in canada already , want to prepare for the CRNE , Do you think 2 month enough for that ??
please reply

I guess it would depend on what else you have to do in that time frame. If you're working or looking for work, getting documentation in order or doing any other concentration-stealing things, it might not be enough time to prepare. Make sure you use all the resources available from CNA. Do the practice questions. Make sure you understand the language used in the questions.

I am a U.S RN preparing to take the CRNE in October. I have been reviewing the CRNE Prep guide and also Mosby's CR CRNE. I took the LEARN CRNE readiness test online and scored 80%. I am not sure if that is a good score or not. Or if it even gives a fair idea of how ready you are for the CRNE. Any advice?

Have you read through FAQ: The Canadian Registered Nurse Examination (CRNE) for pointers? The standard passing score is usually less than 80%.

What is it meant by "primary" versus "tertiary" care?

My perception is primary focuses on health promotion and prevention and tertiary is when the client has an active illness and requires intervention.

Is this right?

You're partly right. Tertiary care is "specialized consultative care, usually on referral from primary or secondary medical care personnel, by specialists working in a center that has personnel and facilities for special investigation and treatment. (Secondary medical care is the medical care provided by a physician who acts as a consultant at the request of the primary physician.)" (Taken from hopkinsmedicine.org) In Canada tertiary care is found at major medical centers, including those associated with universities; these hospitals will offer some or all of cardiovascular surgery, neurosurgery, intensive burn care, transplants, trauma care, extracorporeal life support and other highly technical care.

So primary being the client's main physician. Then secondary would be for example, the cardiologist. And tertiary the cardiovascular surgeon?
