Failed CRNE twice

hi rosie, have you joined the yahoo cpne group for pointers? when i was preparing for my cpne i attended e.c.'s workshop ( if it is in you budget i highly recommend it). i turned my house into a mini hospital ward with my family as my patients and practiced practiced practiced. learn the ce's in and out and then control your stress. best wishes to you on your next cpne date. if i can help let me know...i am sure any old timers and recent grads (e.c. grads) on this board will be happy to help.

A yahoo CPNE group? I wonder if there is such a one for Canadian Registered Nurse Exam --- ??? Anyone?

Hi there, I'm new here from the Phil. I just graduated last march but I'm already an avid reader of the community, I just joined last April. well, I just read your thread regarding the CRNE and very much interested abt the process of this canadian examination. Is there any web site I can get the info or application for these exam? Is a CRNE exam is equivalent to NCLEX?

hope I'm making sense ....is there anyone who could help me.../ it would very much apreciated tnx alot and gud am.

Hello Rosie,

When did you write your exam, when was it?

I would suggest to take a preparation course in area where you live or try other preparation materials (Saunders for NCLEX-RN) is a good sourse...

I wrote my CRNE in February this year and still waiting for the result..

Hello! CRNE exam info; access the web site Canadian Nurses' Association. And the CRNE & NCLEX....I'm not sure how much equivalent the two exams are.

sorry to know abt yr results. Better luck next time. I think u should refer saundra nclex RN 6th edition next time.

Hi Rosie,

I've writen both my CNRE (Canadian) and the NCLEX (US). I would not recommend studying from any NCLEX guide as the US nursing board exam is very different than the Canadian exam. It tends to focus more on anatomy/physiology and pharmacology whereas the Canadian exam I found to have a lot of psychosocial questions. There are good guides for the Canadian exam too. The CNRE guide put out by the CNA I found the best (which you already used I think). Mosby also has a good guide (though the questions a little more factual based than the actual exam). The Canadian exam now also has short answer questions and I believe that the CNA guide is the only one that addresses those types of questions. Good luck to you,

Janet

I am failing by a few points. And wondering if anyone could give me further advice.

How do you know you are failing by a few points? I thought you only get pass or fail not actual marks, just curious!

I believe each MC questions are 3 points each...and SA questions are 3,2,1 points. I failed by a few points too. CNA sends you a summary of where you are weak and you should concentrate on that for your studying. That's what I've been doing.
