Has anyone done the Competency Assessment & Enhancement for Nurses (CAEN)??
If you dont complete a certain amount of practice hours within the 5 years after you graduate, regardless of when you passed your NCLEX/CRNE, you cannot register in BC until you complete certain requirements... this is an option as part of your practice hours.
Im in this predicament because I have not found a job, now I feel like I have to prepare for another exam again.
The CAEN has 3 components; a self-assessment, an individualized simulation assessment and multiple choice exam.
Has anyone out there done this before? and give me some insight on how to prepare for this.
Also,in the meantime what kind of jobs can I apply for, while waiting to be 'registered'?

Also, they give you a scenario and you will have time to look at it and your surroundings and from there you respond to whats going on
