Hi Im a USRN from Philippines. I took my NCLEX exam last year 2012. I am planning to take my CRNE exam by 2015 or 2016 as my canadian husband will get me to live in Canada. It would be advantage for me if the CRNE exam is similar to NCLEX exam. NCLEX is difficult, for me all answers given were seemed correct. It really needs critical thinking and analysis but i passed because of having comprehensive self review, daily practice exams atleast 50 questions a day and exam strategies. My exam was more on hospital setting, prioritizing interventions computation of pediatric dosage, drugs, psyche medsurg, infection control etc. Different types of test formats were given. I ended up completing 144 questions in 2 and half hours. I got the results one day after the exam... they just put passed or failed. But the scores were not disclosed.

Interesting...

My instructors say it's the exact same as the U.S entry to practice exam (NCLEX) and not a canadian version of it. Also, it's going to be more have a bigger pathophysiology focus. Just hearsay for now I suppose.

Later in the year all IEN applications must go to a central place to be assessed once that is completed you apply to the province you wish to live and work and meet requirements and only then will you get a decision on the next step. NCLEX will be in p,ace from next year instead of CRNE but requirements must be met

Too bad for those who took the CRNE and wish to work in the US at some point.

Tomorrow, 18th September 2014, CNO will make decision on whether USA NCLEX-RN will be consider in Ontario OR not? As per the he below FAQ published on CNO website indicate the USA and Canadian nursing practice is similar.

https://www.crnns.ca/documents/NCLEXRN_FAQs_For_Canadians_August_2013.pdf

Please go through the link which clearly mentioned that USA and Canada Nursing practice is same. Thus, Canadian Nursing Registration body should accept USA NCLEX-RN result.

Ontario has one more exam for nurses to register themselves , that is Jurisprudence exam so that nurse can practice as per Ontario health legislation. Nurses act 1991.

I wish you all the best to all of you who has already passed NCLEX-RN exam for USA and will be considered by Canadian nurses registration boards.

Enjoy!

Thank you for bringing up this discussion. I recently graduated in Ontario, wrote the CRNE exam in June and failed by few points. I would be interested to know if I could write the NCLEX in US. To my understanding in US, the NCLEX can be written up to six times, where in Ontario only three times...makes no sense to me. Does anyone know in which States in US can I try to write the NCLEX? Thank you.

It's not as simple as that. You can't just show up at a testing centre and say "I'm here to write the NCLEX." Just the same as in Canada, you have to apply for registration in the state you plan to write in, and pay all the associated fees, have your education assessed and a few other technicalities. Writing the exam is part of the registration process, not a free-standing "thing" you can just choose to do. And really there's no point in looking for a state that allows unlimited attempts (and I'm not aware of any that do) because Ontario at least has already indicated that they will not register any applicant with 3 fails, no matter which exam they've written. Generally, what Ontario does, the rest of Canada follows. The move is toward all provinces having identical practices and a borderless registration policy.

Thanks for your opinion. I don't expect "unlimited attempts"...I am aware that there is a registration process/fees anywhere one applies. At this point I am just looking for other opportunities. I have a BScN and I want to use it. All I what to know is where else I can use it? As I am willing to move and get my license somewhere else. Thanks.

each state in the US has their own requirements, Florida for example will only allow 3 attempts before being required to go on a refresher course and if you fail after that you have to do the whole nursing course again. Some allow unlimited attempts. Not sure why looking at the US when the actual exam questions comes from the same pot
