Licensure Preparation Program Canada

psn619 · Aug 31, 2012

Any heard of the RN licensure preparation program in Vancouver, Canada? It is a private institution and one gotta pay quite a big sum of money for 8 months classes.
I was introduced to this program. I am quite sceptical though, at the same time, I want to believe this will really help me pass CRNE and get a license in Canada...
Any advice?

hiii, even i have heard about the program, but not sure about the quality of training that they provide. Need help?

Yes. I really would appreciate some advice and help. Where did you hear about it?

None of those programs guarantee a pass, and they all cost a lot of money. Your best bet is to make a schedule week by week of study topics, utilize all the required text resources pertaining to the CRNE, and understand the competencies you will be tested on.

Exactly how much money are they charging?

I go out to the lower mainland a couple of times a year and have never heard of the place. From the name you listed "Royal Canadian Institute of Technology" it sound like a diploma mill piggybacking on BCIT's reputation.

I was told about this by one of the consultancy ..... i was told that the training helps one in successfully passing the CRNE....but i am finding it difficult to find someone who is already taking the program or someone who has completed the program....wanted a proper feedback by someone who has had taken the course!

The thing to remember is this: while some of these courses may be beneficial to some of the candidates writing the CRNE, you still need to put in the work and have the knowledge to pass. Too often, students expect their prep courses to be the miracle cure, and then blame the institution if/when they aren't successful.
