CRNE October 2010

Published

Hello every1,

I am going to take CRNE in October 2010. I need your tips and suggestions. I am registered with CARNA (Alberta board of Nursing) but going to take my exam in Toronto. I guess CRNE is standardized exam and is same all over Canada. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I will be writing the CRNE in October 2010 and I am looking for used review books, Mosbys or lippincott ( I have the CNA one). Please help so I can get my studying going. Thanks!

Just a reminder...

Any arrangements for the exchange of used items such as review books for cash or barter MUST be conducted in private. Any public offers of materials for sale will be deleted and the poster will be issued an infraction.

I used the Mosby book (the orange one) and the CNA. I studied every section of nursing such as med-surg, maternal-newborn, peds, etc. I drew up a study timeline for every section (e.g. 4-5 days for med-surg). It really helped to stay on track. My advice is to try out as many questions as you can from different prep books. Also, remember to time yourself doing a mock exam. I found out with this new exam format that 4 hours was not enough for many students to finish the exam and that could be the defining line between failing and passing the CRNE.

Thank you so much Penguins87!

The info is totally helpful and will certainly take it to heart. I particularly appreciate the timeline suggestion. I know it will work for me as well.

Again, thanks a bunch!

Nope, or there wasn't this June, if you go to the rest room and you still are in the exam and haven't finished then you are supervised to and from the restrooms

Hi!

I am planning to sit for the CRNE February 2011. I wasn't able to compose myself for October 2010. Apparently, I heard rumors that the June 2010 CRNE was purely a multiple choice question..did they really omit the short anwer-question? Well, I found this type of exam a bit difficult..

I have been successful with NCLEX last year but it also took me a year to prepare myself..I have used so many review materials such as Exam Cram,lipincott,Mosby,Saunders and Delmar SNSA and I never missed out a day reading rationales..I think this helped me a lot.

Now, I am back to it again...Thanks God because I never get tired of reviewing. This is all what I need to succeed comes CRNE 2011...Hope I will make it!

I know,, I actually woke up this morning on pins and needles about my October exam, but unfortunately am past the date allowed to postpone without penalty, so I guess I have to up my game and study hard. It will be well! With 5 months added onto your review lease,, you should feel much better. Study hard and you will be successful. Yap! I hear the October exam will be multiple choice only as well.

Good luck with your studying and stay positive!
