Hi there! I'm writing the CRNE tomorrow and wanted to start this thread to get some chatter going to support each other. Anyone else writing tomorrow?
I'm nervous....somewhat! It's kind of a strange feeling actually. If I really let myself think about it, it frightens me to death, but then other times I'm completely calm. KWIM?? Anyone else going through these mix of emotions?
Anyway, I have to go get ready since I have to drive an hour and half out of town to write, and we're actually spending the night tonight.

If you have been working as a nurse then I doubt that you will have to go back to school. I believe it is if there has been a break of 5 or more years. That is what I have been told for Nova Scotia so I am sure other provinces will have something similar
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".
in my opinion, 59-68% is appallingly low considering that people's lives will be in the hands of someone who only knew 59% of the information. but i'm not on the committee and i don't have a say.
I did not purchase my Canadian prep guide, 3rd and 4th edition. I just borrowed them from a friend and my cousin. If you have no other options, just buy them, it is worth it. I also borrowed two review books from the library.
I hope this helps.[/quote

Questions regarding work permit and immigration please ask in the International forum, suggest you read the threads already there discussing this. This thread is just on CRNE
This waiting game is terrible, I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the results. I was sure that we would have heard by now... I live in Saskatchewan any one else heard anything about if they were mailed out yet.
I know I'm very anxiously waiting. I've even been dreaming about it for the past couple of nights. One light I dreamed that I failed, then last night I dreamed I passed with a 96%.
I heard somewhere that the results would be sent out by the 11th of July.
I hope that's true and if it is then we should start receiving results next week.
