Re: CRNE??? What to do if failure happens?
"There is access to lots of support. With the amount that is out there I'd personally be worried about someone who can't pass the exam after the 3rd attempt. I wouldn't want to be cared for by that nurse...would you?"
I have thought about what you have said Kabel. Yes you do bring up a good point. HOwever, from what I have read from previous posts about the CRNE and how difficult is can be. I dont understand how it can make you a clinically safe nurse. Because as nursing students we are assessed clinically on practical work in hospitals and we are to pass that area of nursing training. As well as managing to study and pass exams and essays. To do an extra exam that some information from what I have come to understand about the CRNE is leftfield and never heard of, I dont feel it is warranted.
Also because I studied in Australia and being that it is a commonwealth country like Canada. I also see that other commonwealth countries such as: New Zealand, United Kingdom do not have these types of exams for Graduate RN's. So to not have these exams, does that mean we are unsafe???
I will attempt the exam because its what is expected in Canada but because it puts alot of anxiety on Graduate Nurses. I dont think it should be pointed out that we are unsafe if failing. Some people dont do well in exams and just manage to pass. I know I am one of those. I will make a good attempt on the exam though when it does happen.
I know these nursing entrance exams happen in China, USA and Canada. I also had a colleague who tried twice back in China with the exam. She failed and to me, she is very knowledgeable nurse, clinically safe. So I dont think these exams really prove anything.
To me these exams dont help with the nursing shortage.
This is my opinion and we all have opinions. So any refute I look forward to the reply.
