CRNE February 2010

World Canada CRNE

Published

Hello! anybody out there?!! :coollook:

I just received my confirmation to write the crne this February. I am now in desperation to get a review materials to study on. I am still in the process of acquiring the crne prep guide as this was what most of those taking the October 2009 CRNE but one thread says the shipping cost is far way too expensive. :cry: huhu

BUt however, the exam cost is to much to fail the test... so can anybody out there give tips? advises and how was it like? what to concentrate more?

Hi!I wrote Crne couple of days ago.It was my first attempt.I am IEN.For me the first part was relatively o.k. but second part made me so stressed that I am not sure if I am going to pass.Soo much psycho-social stuff that I just tried to guess somehow..

Hey Eva,

That's exactly how I felt. The first part was ok. But the second book was somthing else. Gosh, I am actually really nervous now. I hope I pass. This waiting is going to be brutal.

I think we just need to relax because now it's our last opportunity to be really free and enjoy. After we receive a result anyway we'll either have to study a lot for the next exam if we failed(hopefully not!!!) or try to find a job and start to work if we pass! :) So let's enjoy this opportunity

It's hard to relax and not think about it but there's nothing else we can do. So lets just play the waiting game.....

Did you guys feel like there were a lot of numbers involved with the exam, like lab values? Our class had a chat about the CRNE and our instructor said, "They won't ask you about lab values because in a clinical setting, the normal ranges will be on the computer, but know what happens if a lab value is way below or way above normal."

Yes there were some questions with lab values.I am not good in those numbers either. I guess blood gases are really important to know well . But there were also questions about electrolites .Our instructor actually told that we should know those as well(I went to a CRNE prep. course ).

Hello!

Good for all of you gyus who have managed to take the test, I wasnt able to take last Feb 3 as my tourist visa application got denied. I left with no choice but to withdraw from the exam. I plan to take this June.

I hope and pray that all of you will pass. I wish you all the best.

Good Luck!

We are expecting the results of Feb 2010 exam to be out in 2 weeks time. How do you feel guys? I am scared from 1st of March. I dont know how I did. Some people say that they can tell how well or bad they did right after the exam but I cant. I cant even remember questions from the exam. This is my second attempt

faq: the canadian registered nurse examination (crne)

the part where it says...

  • what's a passing mark on the crne? the standard passing score ranges from 59-68%. but the standard passing score is determined by the level of difficulty of the exam as established by the crne examination committee. each exam is set by the committee using a pool of thousands of stock questions created by nursing educators across the country. the pool of questions is constantly changing, as is the composition of the exam. no two exams are ever more than superficially similar. the actual mark achieved only matters as it compares to the standard set for that specific exam. results are reported to the candidate as either "pass" or "fail". occasionally the cna will provide a score to the failing candidate in an effort to assist with succeeding on subsequent attempts but generally speaking you will not receive a score.
