Please help me with a way.

Published

Hello everyone, I am from India and new to this site, I have completed my GNM diploma of 3 years, that is the RN course in India. I am planning to move to canada, But the problem is that our Nursing college didn't provide us practical knowledge, all they did was going through the books. I completed my RN course in november 2008, and since then I have been doing nothing. I have joined few hospitals in my town so that i Can learn the practical work, but they are not good hospitals, with very poor standards, so I quit.

Now I feel in a mess, i am thinking to join CRNE classes so that I can get back with books and studies, and at the same time I am worried about the practical practice, as what i should do. If anyone can help me to do the right, I would appreciate the help.

I am really in a mess as I feel embarrassed to call myself a nurse who knows nothing.

But I really wanna work hard to become a great Nurse.

thank you for reading and commenting.

Moved to the International forum as the NCLEX forum is just for people studying for the NCLEX

There are many threads both in this forum and the Canadian forum on CRNE suggest a search and good read. One question I would ask is have you applied to a College of RN and received eligibility to sit CRNE?

No not yet, I am still planing for taking coaching classes and then applying for the test.

I would suggest first that you apply for registration and know you meet eligibility to sit CRNE and then look at ways to improve as it can be a long process depending on the province college of RN and your transcripts will be required to show clinical hours as well as theory hours

You can't just apply for the test. You have to apply for licensure and they assess your education and decide if you are eligible to take the test.

OK thank you for your replies, I have decided to join a hospital to get practical experience and to get back with my books and to prepare for CRNE and when I think I am ready for the test i will apply for it and see whether they find me applicable or not, I will keep working hard till I don't become a good nurse, i don't wanna give up.

thank you once again.

You should apply first. What's the point in studying if you aren't going to be able to write the exam? They don't care how much you have studied to prepare. They will look at the formal education you have received and evaluate that.Study is more practical once you find out if they are going to let you write.
