Canadian RN to US RN! Passed NCLEX RN in 75 questions!

Published

Hello,

Just wanted to share my experience with the NCLEX RN. I am an RN in Ontario, Canada. I completed an accelerated BScN program in 2014 and wrote the last CRNE in October 2014, which I passed.

I am planning to move to the US in the near future, so wanted to get the NCLEX RN out of the way. Yesterday, on March 18, 2019 I wrote the NCLEX RN at 8:00am. I only had 75 questions and finished in about 2 hours. This morning around 10:00am, I checked my application on the Minnesota BON and saw that I passed. My name and RN license number are already listed on the Minnesota BON too. So fast, I’m very impressed. Pearson Vue doesn’t even have my quick results available yet, not that I need them, cause I know already.

Once I received my ATT in December 2018, I booked my test date. I was initially reading Saunders, however it was too time consuming for me. I also work full-time and am doing my MScN part-time, so time is very precious and limited. I purchased UWorld in late December 2018 and utilized it as my main study aid from that time onwards I did around 1300 questions. As recommended, I focused more on the rationales and understanding the material. On both UWorld assessments, I scored a “high” chance of passing the NCLEX. In the end, it all paid off. All glory to God!

Good Job. Passing NCLEX in Ontario is so fast as well. I finished the exam at 1800hrs (Feb 27) & received my CNO result at 0400hrs midmorning the next day (Feb 28). I was so happy.

*I am waiting for Maine BON to finish processing my RN license. Hopefully will go to US by this July.

Hi There,

I also wrote the CRNE in 2014 and am now interested in moving to the states for work. Do you have any suggestions or tips for the NCLEX prep, were there any parts of the exam that would be challenging for a Canadian RN writing the NCLEX (such as different lab values)? I am having trouble finding a solid US NCLEX study guide so any advice would be amazing!

Thank you!!

Because the exam is held for Canada they should show the different lab values
