CRNE October 2010

Wow! this is getting even more scary than i had imagined. If they have upto 20 experimental questions the obviously the exam will be on 180. I can't believe this. So what if all the 20 are the ones you have right, then you are screwed. I think i will faint once i see any envelop from CNO next week. I'm soooooo scared. LORD HELP US!!!! I pray we all make it. Good luck to everyone.

i think if you can get the 20 experimental questions correct then u probably can pass the exam. I doubt that there is such coincidence that you will get the experimental questions all correct and the rest wrong and fail the exam....Logically it does not work this way

Thanks for your response whitebunny. That was relieving but sometimes it's hard coz we can never tell which of the questions are experimental and how they do the selection of the experimental questions.

I think it really isn't fair that we can never get to know what the right answers to those questions are. What if someone has to write again? How does one know and learn from their mistakes?

My gosh, there is WAY too much over-thinking going on in this thread! It's giving me a headache just reading it all.

If the exam has already been written, you have nothing to gain by deliberating *every single possible way* you may have botched the test, other than giving yourself an early coronary. For goodness sakes... relax and carry on with your lives. Nothing will change the end result.

I want to think it this way. If 20 experimental questions do not count, and 60 % is the passing mark, then I only need 108 correct answers to pass. Do I have 108 correct answers:confused: Dear God, please help us....

If the pass mark is 118 and 20 experimental q do not count then the pass mark is 65%???

Man oh man...all the anticipation is getting to me. I left that exam feeling really good and have for the most part, remained positive while enduring this hellish wait. he only times I have started to feel dread and have gotten full of worry have occurred when

a) Former classmates and friends start talking to me about their insecurities with respect to passing the exam

b) The aforementioned group discuss how they either felt bored or fed up with the exam and quit paying attention to the que3stions/answers

c) The aforementioned group start discussing already their plans for writing February's exam, or discussing what their worse case scenario is...

and lastly,

d) Coming to the forums and reading the fears of everyone else lol.

What happened to the power of positive thinking people??!! 4 years in a nursing program is a LONG time to endure constant state of stress and panic with respect to making it through the program. We finally succeed in graduating from the program only to be in a constant state of panic about either finding a job, trying to not feel like a complete bumbling idiot in our new career and passing the CRNE. I'm not trying to be a downer, but I would LOVE to see some positivity in this thread, along with some posts from people who are determined to not let this exam defeat them.

I will give you an example: Ever since high school I have been telling myself that I am HORRIBLE in math. I literally drilled it into my skull. In University, I literally gave myself a mental block and ended up failing stats TWICE; not because i was dumb, not because I couldn't do it, but because I kept telling myself I couldn't do it. I even remember getting 34% on one of my stats finals. That's PRETTY BAD. I had a million legitimate excuses. I had a newborn baby. I was sleep deprived. I had a horrible roommate. I had a heavy course load. I really didn't have enough help or time to even process the information. All those excuses came down to one huge issue - I lacked the self-confidence and I didn't believe in myself that I could do it. Fast forward to a year later when I decided to do stats the last and final time. I did it through distance education - where I literally had to teach myself the entire course. I had to rely on me and only me to make the difference. If I failed I had no one to blame but myself. I worked at it hard - spent 4 hours a day, everyday, while working and taking care of my family. I got 85% on the mid-term and final - something that I thought was never possible. The one course that i thought would stop me from graduating from Nursing. I finally passed and the only difference this time around was that I kept telling myself I could do it no matter what. I was not going to give up...and hell, if I could finish my full-time Nursing program at Uni with a baby latched to my hip, then hell, stats should be a piece of cake!

I will tell you I felt the same way when I finished the CRNE as I did when I finished my stats final - knowing that I did the best that I could and I was gonna be the best damned nurse I can be for the rest of my life. NOTHING will come between me and my dream, because I worked too hard to make my dream a reality. Failing was never an option. Passing is THE ONLY option.

I want you ALL to start thinking POSITIVE. If by chance anyone does not have a positive experience this time around, We will all be there to support and encourage that person, and instill in them the confidence they need to make sure their next writing of the exam is their LAST writing of the exam. Let's fill this thread with positivity...hell, we all deserve it! Happy envelope opening to everyone. I won't say good luck because we don't need luck to be nurses, we are already all grad nurses. Nursing needs Heart and Soul and I'm 100% positive we all have that
