CRNE to NCLEX

[donk]

Hi everyone :) I'm currently in my 2nd semester of my 4 year BScN degree (Canada) and just found out that by the time I graduate they will have changed our registration exam from the CRNE to the NCLEX. I was just curious if anyone knew the difference between these two exams and when everyone started preparing for their exam. I am assuming I'll have to purchase different study guides and prep materials. We also have to write a jurice prudence exam which im not sure if thats specific to canada. Any info or advice would be helpful! Thanks.

> And the shift to the NCLEX is evident for people who just wrote their CRNE. The CRNE has dramatically changed from community and health promotion based to medical model based

I agree with Steven that the CRNE is already changing. I've been working in a hospital while in nursing school and talking to each batch of grad nurses after the exam. The exam I took on Feb 6th was nothing like what they described. It was very heavy on the medical/technical questions.
