Canadian RN Exam

World Canada CRNE

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if i caould get any tips on the Canadain RN exam

like how much prep does one really need?

I got the Canadian RN exam prep guide (3rd edition) written by CNA

if i go...

the short answer questions are more about identification. Define so and so. What are the symtoms of this and this. Give 3 signs of blah blah blah. Know your diseases, your procedures and some creative thinking and you should be fine.

tHANKS FOR THE QUICK REPLY!!! can i ask u another question? u think CRNE prep guide is sufficient enough for review? thanks again

depends on how much you already know. I think going thru your notes is a very good idea.

Hi there,

personally I would recommend you to study "Mosby Comprehensive review....., CRNE Prep Guide and the CRNE online exam which CNO offers". I did that and I passed :chuckle my Canadian RN exam in dec 2004. By the way I am an International Student.

Good luck and Happy Holidays

Writing in a few weeks and wondering what the nurses that recently wrote thought of the exam? What is the best way to prepare for it? Is the online readiness test worth the $42? Any guidence would be helpful, thanks in advance.

I think the Canadian exam is not that hard, u just have to make the right choice, I suggest always pick the nicest reply. For the short answer, just be direct, they are only looking for specific answers. I prepared one month and a bit. i guess thats enough. Most of the questions dealt with pyschosocial issues, theres also lots about abuse, and the bulk is basically about patient's safety. oooppss study also procedures as well. I dont know if these might help, but i hope it will. Good Luck to you.

Thanks for the reply, gives me a point in the right direction. Did you have enough time and what did you do for prep?

yeah, i took the Learn readiness test, and did the CRNE prep guide several times. the format of the question is mostly comparable to the actual CRNE exam. i tried reading on some NCLEX books too, i even tried Mosby's comprehensive, its hard compared to CRNE but it will help u think critically. again, if u try doing that dont stress yourself much if ever u commit mistakes because ure stress level will get low and it wont help instead focus on whats more important which is the CRNE prep guide and the readiness test. good luck to u

I took it today. It was bad. I had not enough time to finish it and it was not easy at all. I was so stressed.
