I'm new to this site but am finding it really useful! I'm canadian but did my nursing degree in the UK, and I currently practicing in England. I'm due to sit the CRNE on the 7th October and have read some scary posts on its level of difficulty. I have the study guides and will continue to study for the next 8 weeks until I fly over to toronto to sit it. I'm extremely nervous....anybody got any further pointers for me????
I can't wait for my family to start our life in Canada pending me passing this exam (so no pressure Eh!)......and a new job in toronto would be great!!!!!
Good luck to all of those that are sitting it the same day as me!
i studied cna b4 june exam but i failed because 2 many ques were on pediatric i think v have to go through all medical conditions and drugs.
i failed from 28 marks so i want to pass this exam in oct
i have mosby comprehensive,lipincott,cna and compedium
i am dng mosby now
is that enough i dnt know am scared
Thank you for the insight Sonamona. I haven't started to review paediatrics in deep yet. I have no idea if Mosby will be enough for content, sometimes I find that a few important things are missing. Maybe I'm wrong.
I also have the Silvestri review for NCLEX, which I use mostly as "school notes". It's a "solid book" in all senses, but it has a few limitations since CRNE and NCLEX are different exams, a few drugs have different names in the US and they don't use the metric system. I wouldn't recommend getting the Silvesri book if you're preparing just for CRNE though.
hi everybody, im booked to take the octber 7 writing, im quiet worried because im not tensed.. hehe.. anyway, i've been getting around 70-76% in my prep guide practice questions. I'm wondering if its a good prognosis :icon_roll
Yes, I am. I arrived here in Cranbrook on 9th June, then had my regional orientation a week later with a jet lag (oh man, that's terrible!!) then after that, had my orientation in the floor with ONLY 9 shifts and started to work on my own... Quiet overwhelming at first but its getting smooth as time goes by.. the staff here are very AWESOME, very friendly and helpful.. so basically, i'm not drowning because i have a lot of life-savers around me when difficult situation arises..
Thanks Sheng31 - just found out where I'm writing in Toronto - convention centre near international airport so nice and easy in terms of travel. Took a while to get confirmation from Canada.

hmm...double check the name of the centre you are writing at...the convention centre is located in downtown Toronto.
Hi Dishes - you're right. I'm writing at the Toronto Congress Centre near the airport. Nice and convenient for me shall try to find a place to stay nearby.
Since you are pleased that the writing centre is located close to the airport. It seems you plan to fly in and write the exam within a period of a few days time, is this correct? I hope you factor in enough time to recover from jet lag and will feel well rested when you write the exam.
Of course - and also in case the plane gets cancelled/delayed!
Did anyone see that programme where new research was done with racing drivers who raced in the US and UK. Much less jetlag if they didn't eat on the plane (only H2O) and try to get into the meal/sleep pattern of the country when you get there. They tested reflexes etc before & after & proved it significantly lessened the impact of jetlag. I'll try that as the plane food isn't up to much anyway.

Hi guys. How's the review going? My friend wrote the CRNE Feb. this year at Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Front Street. So there's an idea.
Petgroomer, I have the same problem here. Someone advised from another thread to bring your fave pain killer on the exam day as you'd likely get one
