I took your CRNE prep course starting in Aug and you had mentioned that nobody tells you how they did. I wanted to let you know that I PASSED!!!! The course was amamzing!!! So many of the questions we discussed in class showed up on the exam. I especially remember the question about the chest tube. If it becomes disconnected to place it in a container of water. That was on the exam. Also, I had asked a question in class about when a pregnant woman can not have sex and that question was also on the exam. Most importantly, I learned how to address each question after I took your course. Once I was able to identify what the question was trying to ask me I was able to determine how to answer the question. The practice questions were also very helpful!!! Some of them I remember being on the actual exam.
Once again, I wanted to thank you. I studied hard, but your course helped me learn HOW to study for the CRNE and, I PASSED!!!

i have one more doubt , you told that the rule of 250 hours was applicable only to British Columbia, do you know any other provinces who takes nurses after passing crne from other provinces , without these mandatory working hours?
As I said in my post, British Columbia is currently the only province that has a requirement for 250 hours of supervised practice. As I also said in my post, the CRNE is a national examination, so if you pass it in BC, the results will still be good in Alberta, Manitoba... in all the other provinces except Quebec, which has its own examination. And then I pointed out that there are very few opportunities for IENs in Canada right now for a number of reasons.
if i pass crne and apply for other province say alberta or ontario, do i stil need to satisfy their language requirements ?
You absolutely must meet the langauage requirements in EVERY province in Canada. If you cannot meet those requirements then it's likely that your ability to communicate clearly in an emergency situation could cause patient care to be endangered. That's why we have language requirements in the first place. It's not to be mean, or to keep people out of our country but to ensure that our patients get the care they need when they need it and that care is the best we can provide. It's just as important for you to understand what you're being told as it is for us to understand what you're saying, both verbally and in writing.

how did you get the student visa .Did you enroll in crne prep class if so how long is course
Student visa is required if the course is longer than 6 months. CRNE prep do not normally meet that requirement. Have you read the CIC website regarding obtaining a student visa?
Just to add this is off topic so would suggest if you want more answers you start a thread discussing this in the International forum
Hello to allnurses.com members & guest! It's been a long time since i last visited this site. I just recently passed the CRNE last June, now the next step is to find an RN position. :)
