Hi newnursejoan, Do you mind if I ask you if this is the first time you're writing the exam? I plan on taking the course at toronto school of health in may. I've been trying to contact them via phone for numerous times now but no one is answering. It really makes me question the credibility of this school and when I hear different comments from people. I'm not from Toronto and hence I can't contact them in person.

No its my second time. I took the course with the toronto school of health the first time. Problem the course runs in a naturopaths clinic when hes isn't seeing clients in his waiting room. He has a hard time with the nursing practice issues. If you looking for a real big school, check out the University of Toronto which runs a 3 day course, George brown college which also runs a 3 day course, and York university.

and the best thing is to start studying really early and practicing lots of questions. You'll improve your comprehension with the more you study and the more questions you do. Good luck with your studying and we are almost there!

There are many posts regarding the Toronto School of Health and its poor reputation. You could do a search of the site by using the search bar at the upper right corner of your screen.

Hi everyone,

I am taking the CRNE in Feb 2012. anyone there from Ottawa?

I would liek to meet some nurses to study during this last two weeks. I can not focus well at home when Ia m study alone. my teacher suggested to go to library and try to write the test paper in the much distracted state. she said that is similar to the exam situation.

any good suggestions.

thanks

Toronto is a big hub! easy transport. Tips for meals on exam day: don drink coffee or tea on that day.keeep some hard candy or lozengers in your pencil case, wear layers, get a bottle of warm water with you, eat good nutritious breakfast( high in protein) and reach there by 7:30am will do. so many people ! get enough rest before the exam and if you are from oversea. try to fly in as soon as possible to keep yourself adapt to the local time. I was Singapore and i flew in last June just 4 days before the exam. It was hard to keep myself awake during the exam. I failed my first attempt by 2 marks and I could not remember any questions on the paper after I left the exam hall. So please come in early and get well adjusted. if you have one hour different from local time, you need one day to adjust. if you have 7 hours different, you need at least 7 Days to adjust. Good luck to your exam. I am going to withdraw tomorrow as I did not prepare well enough. Don't be shy to leave the hall if your are not well on that day or you have not prepared well enough. reserve the chance and gain more knowledge. if you do like to try, positive thinking will bring a lot of diffrence. Anyway,Good luck to all of you.
