Preparation for CRNE

RN_Canada · Apr 9, 2009

CRNE pass rates are about 95% for Canadian educated nurses.

Internationally educated nurses have a lower pass rate usually in the 70% range .

The lower pass rate for IEN might be a reflection of a lack of understanding of the system, Canadian laws and values, and and the role of the nurse within the Canadian health care system.

You can get Mosby & the new Lippincott CRNE shipped from Amazon.ca but they don't carry the CNA book, which is the best one. I found the CNA book was cheaper from the Universities (& many of them do ship abroad) than the CNA.

About the new Lippincott CRNE, is it really worth it??? I saw it on Amazon.ca but couldnt' get a preview. I'm interested mostly because the cover claims the book contains a review of the most important topics and I truly need that after all my school notes got lost (I think my mom gave them to someone without thinking I'd need them again )

The last of the "WOOHOO I passed" posts came in around the beginning of the second week in March, so a little more than four weeks. That's quick actually; there were few new grads writing in February. The June results will probably take five or six weeks because of the volume.

d_plumber05, you are aware that you must have 15 legitimate posts before you may send PMs aren't you? At this point, with 7 posts (two of them virtually identical) you are able to receive PMs but cannot reply to them. Read this FAQ: https://allnurses.com/frequently-asked-questions/what-private-messages-385224.html for further information. Your 15 posts must contribute to the discussion, that means it's not quite good enough to post a "Yeah, that" response to a comment.
