Options after failing CRNE 3 times

[PPAA]

I just wrote the crne for the 3rd time this Oct and I was just wondering what options do i have with my BScN if I'm not successful in passing the exam the 3rd time? What else can I do? I know I can write the NCLEX in the states, and that I can take the CPNRE exam in Canada. Any other options? Also, I've heard that some people had a 4th attempt at the exam. What kind of reason would i need in order to get a 4th attempt? Please let me know, any information would be helpful.

You are wrong on many statements you made in this post.

1.) You don not need to pass CRNE to be eligible to write the NCLEX

2.) American employers prefer Canadian nurses because of their education and their Nursing degree's, Canadian education is valued more

3.) I am certain a canadian citizen can apply for an american work visa it usually takes about 6 months max

So it is not as difficult as you state, i live in Toronto i am a dual citizen and will be writting NCLEX in 2 months, i fully intend on working in western NY until i get enough hours to write CRNE.

What do you mean to get enough hours to write the CRNE?

I failed 3 times and don't know what to do.

Is this means if you work enough hours ,the CNO can give you another chance to write the exam

This thread is nearly 4 years old and a lot has changed as regards registering as a nurse in Canada. Although Canada has adopted the NCLEX as entry-to-practice, there will still only be 3 chances to pass. The reference to hours in the quoted post refers to registration requirements, NOT requirements vis-Ã -vis writing the exam. You cannot be given eligibility to write the exam without first meeting all other requirements for registration. Does that make sense?

CNO specifically states three chances at NCLEX, CRNE or a combination of the two. So three fails at CRNE = return to school to gain eligibility for the NCLEX-RN
