I'm really not sure if the CRNE exams are held back home (I'm a filipino too, living here in vancouver).

However, if you are an incoming immigrant here in canada, filing for the exam (well, here in vancouver) is pretty easy. Passing it, on the other hand, is another story.

They require you to be a registered nurse in the ph, and you must already have passed the IELTS exam (6.5 average, no grade lower than 6 with a score of 7 or higher in the speaking test).

Then they will assess your TOR, then you have to pay some fees and stuff. All of it are on the CRNBC website (CRNBC.ca).

The CRNE is really different from the NCLEX... lol, i'm so happy they removed the short-answer questions.

hmm.. what else?Oh, i'm going to take the CRNE this coming october 10.wish me luck hehe

sorry i'm not much of a help, if you have any questions, well, you can just pm me here or email me

if you are in the Philippines right now, i strongly suggest you take the IELTS there. why? #1 - it less expensive (rather than taking it here in canada); #2 - alot more books and reviewers are available there.

And #3 - the CRNBC requires you first to pass the IELTS exam in order to file for the CRNE. They will mail back your forms if a copy of your result is not included in it.. :lol2:
