CPNRE - test times

Published

Hi All, question.

What dates are there to write the exam usually? I am hoping usually there are May dates and July dates when I write it (won't be for awhile yet but I am curious)

I also why does it take so long to get results of a computerized test that doesn't look at your school grades at all. I am sure many find this unfair as I do.

Back in the days of when it was a pencil and paper exam, we waited upto nine weeks for results.

It is what it is. Results all released at the same time and the further away from the mailing point your address is, the longer the wait.

Canada Post is slooo

Nope, a few times a year still for the CPNRE, which is better than it used to be, when I wrote in 2013. It wasn’t even that long ago but there were only 3 days per year to write. Yep, 4 days. One mid-January, May, and October. Hopefully when the CPNRE moves to the NCLEX (I don’t know when), it will be more open like what happened when the RN exam switched over!

what happened when it switched over? I don't think it switches until 2021...

So how long do you have to wait to rewrite if you fail the first time? Not that I plan on it. I am just curious.

You would have to register to re-write during the next exam period, whenever that is.

You get the results very quickly with the NCLEX, I had my results in 20 hours. It would likely be similar when the CPNRE becomes the NCLEX-PN.
