CRNE

[nursesarah84]

please help me!!

i am an irish nurse looking to move to canada and to take the crne. i was unfortuantally given bad advice about the exam and so bought a number of expensive nclex-rn books and study materials. are these books of any use to me at all?

i am finding that it is getting more confusing each time i google crne. some websites are teling me that crne is the same as cna and cnpe:f/aa exam. others are telling me that they are different! which is true??

also i am finding that it is next to impossible to source crne books/study materials within ireland and if i try buy from canada/america it is going to cost me up to €50 postage! do i need boooks? can i pass without? if i have to buy them and pay that, then so be it but are there good/reputable websites i can use instead?

please please can someone help??

I have done both CRNE and NCLEX and feel that the exams are both different and but I also found the book Fundamental of Nursing for Canada helped me a lot. I only used the CRNE prep book and the Fundamental for Nursing for Canada and passed first time

There are many threads discussing CRNE have you checked them out. Here is some for starter allnurses: A Nursing Community for Nurses - Search Results

Heed Silverdragon102's advice but have your credentials assess by the licensing body first, as you'll find out that getting eligibility to write CRNE is not that simple specially to foreign trained and educated nurses. And starting to review for CRNE might be too early yet, as a lot of procedures are still needed for you to overcome before getting eligibility. Good luck.
