June 2010 CRNE Results

Published

I don't want to start the posts too early, but I was just wondering if anyone knew how long it is actually supposed to take to get results this year. I know that some people I worked with last summer got theirs in early-mid July. I checked out the CNO website and the CNA website (and a few others along the way) one says 8-12 weeks and the other says 4-6. I'm already driving myself crazy...if I have to wait another 8+ weeks I'll end up really going off the deep end :uhoh3:

I'm from Hamilton and I'm in the A's and still anxiously stalking the poor mail/man woman... Does anyone know exactly what the exam was out of? From what I've read on here a passing score was 121... I know there were 208 questions but I cannot recall how many they said would be trial/non-counting questions...

Thanks

121 out of 200. Let me know when you get your results, I'm within your area, and still waiting as well.

Anyone who has 5 or less someone someone will double check it. I once had 5 too and the CNO said they usually hand-score a second time. So no need to pay extra.

Crap! Now I have to actually open the envelope before I have a MI.

Hi I received my letter this morning I live in Toronto and I PASSED I am soo happy still in shock and congrads to those who passed and those who werent successful this time DO NOT GIVE UP ... everything happens for a reason this will only make you guys stronger.

I am not going to lie it was a hard exam I actually went and took a course because it was my first time writting the exam and the exam is not the same like our school exam so I paid 300 dollars (money well spent) with Bloomberg a course offered in U of T , it was an amazaing course (two days) they provide u with three exams but the last exam is 3 hours it was a real mock exam and after the exam we went through each question finding out the rationale. I hope I was able to help u guys

For my fellow peers that were not successful this is my study tips:

I studied for my exam by using Mosby (combi-pack 2 books), CNA, Lippincotts and all the mock questions with rationales that I got my hands on. I studied Mon thru Fri 8 hrs with 3 breaks.I went to bed @ 20:00 the night before the exam and did not read or review immediately prior to the exam.

I used all those books and more, studied for 5 weeks, got 85% on readiness test...................I'm just hoping that I don't have to go through this again

I just got my result this morning and I passed. I was expecting the word PASS but I couldn't find and I was becoming anxious. So I had to breath and read carefully so I find that I was successful in the CNRE... just one thinnnnnn page.

It was my first time and I am a IEN. So my confidence level was very low, even I had worked almost 10 years in my country. I study the Mosby's Review Book, cover to cover. I bought both CNA Prep guide and the Lippincotts. And I went to U of T prep course of two days. It was very helpful.

Congratulations for everybody that passed. And for who not passed, don't give up of your dream...

I think I did more than what was really necessary to successfully hurdle the test. I made use of the resources I already have when reviewing for the NCLEX which I successfully passed on my first attempt. There were eight thousand questions from the Mosby's NCLEX review on ipod and Saunders NCLEX review on ipod altogether which come really handy. The good thing about Mosby's and Saunders is that they provide rationales for each of the four choices that includes explanations of why the other options are wrong. I was working while in nursing school, by the way, and all extra time I have I spent in answering questions on ipod i.e during train rides and break hours at work. But I believe it was an overkill as these review materials are too technical which doesn't have much of a semblance of the CRNE. But again, there were a couple of pharmacology and pathophysiology type questions that I was certain I got right. Thanks to the NCLEX on ipod review. Another thing I did was download on ipod all the nursing podcast/lectures of the best nursing professors in my university. I think I have over 100 hours of podcast in Peds, OB, Medsurg, pharmacology, Psych altogether. They were indeed helpful especially if you are more of an audio learner like me. There were also some CD's I have from school which proved helpful. I easily get bored reading so I switched to watching the video to listening to my ipod. That makes learning fun.

I have also purchased the CRNE prep Guide and answered the 1000 questions a month before the test. Also, I think the Compendium of Standards is worth looking into. They're broad in scope and are stated in general terms but they're helpful most especially when you're struggling with those psychosocial questions in the CRNE.

For those who have failed, there is always rainbow after the rain. I just wish you good luck on your next try.

To those who failed with a temp license... I'm so sorry to hear the news. I agree and support many of the related responses already posted that you will do great next time around especially because you now know what kind of messed up torturous questions they liked to ask. If you don't mind me asking ... Did your name get taken off the cno find a nurse temp registery or is that a false assumption? I'm still waiting here and it's sooo hard waiting any hint like that would be wonderful! Thank you :)
