  1. CRNE feb 2009

    RGN1 replied to ol221's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Last couple of exams has been 146-151 (there's roughly 145 & 144 questions over the 2 papers, of which 30 are not counted, as they are test questions) if you do the math - that's just a little...

  5. Canadian Nurse Recruiter

    RGN1 replied to Btdthat08's topic in International Nursing

    As SD said it's not difficult, I'd stay away from agencies if you can. I know the one that many come to my hospital courtesy of have not been all that hot on many different fronts. AS has been said,...

  6. SEC assessment ? A JOKE !!

    RGN1 replied to dhatcher's topic in Immigration Advice

    I absolutely agree! I had to go on an IEN course for 5 days to "prove" my skills matched up to Canadian nurse training. I didn't have to do the SEC because I was general trained the "old fashioned"...

  9. Nurses from UK in canada

    RGN1 replied to the31woman's topic in United Kingdom

    If my DH didn't work from home here in Canada I'm not sure how we'd manage the childcare, they have such long holidays in the summer & seem to have so many odd days off school - like tomorrow for...

  10. Preparation for CRNE

    RGN1 replied to ricquet's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    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...

  11. CRNE Resources

    RGN1 replied to abcdefghijKIRA's topic in International Nursing

    Having done the exam & used both resources I agree with your prof - as per my earlier comments & my comments on other threads. I wish there were more materials available from the CNA. A whole...

  12. Nurses from UK in canada

    RGN1 replied to the31woman's topic in United Kingdom

    They brought in the English test across the board because the European Union - in it's infinitely stupid wisdom - said that workers from the EU couldn't be discriminated against on the grounds of...

  13. SEC assessment ? A JOKE !!

    RGN1 replied to dhatcher's topic in Immigration Advice

    I think that's really terrible SD - I hope you get it

  14. SEC assessment ? A JOKE !!

    RGN1 replied to dhatcher's topic in Immigration Advice

    My school of nursing had closed down but I had no problems getting my transcripts done, it took time because the person asssigned to do the job wasn't doing it but once that was sorted I had no...

  15. CARNA registration advice please

    RGN1 replied to geordie2canada's topic in Nurse Registration

    That's harsh for you! Maybe you forgot to check one of their boxes

  16. CARNA registration advice please

    RGN1 replied to geordie2canada's topic in Nurse Registration

    I applied & did everything at the same time, had no problems (bar my uni taking ages!!) It still took 6 months for CARNA to approve me but here I am, it took 8 months to get here & I have now...

  17. CRNE Resources

    RGN1 replied to abcdefghijKIRA's topic in International Nursing

    I had Mosby - OK for content but questions more like the N-CLEX than the CRNE. The CNA book is by far the closest to the question style, as is their on-line test. However, the exam is way trickier. I...

  18. Preparation for CRNE

    RGN1 replied to ricquet's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    I really think you do need at least one book - the CNA book is the closest to the exam itself. They also have an on-line readiness test that I think you should take a couple of weeks before you take...

  19. Physical assssments

    RGN1 replied to UKPedsRN's topic in International Nursing

    As a new nurse in Canada I too had to learn to listen to breath sounds, bowel sounds etc. We do them usually q shift unless otherwise specified. Does it make me a better nurse?? Not really!! I...

  20. CPR, BCLS for CRNE

    RGN1 replied to rosetulip's topic in International Nursing

    I'm sure you'll be fine. 4 IENs took it from my unit in Oct & we all passed. You'll feel like **** when you come out (we all did- just look at the posts post June CRNE) but so will the vast...

  21. UK nurse hoping to move to Canada

    RGN1 replied to loopylou1987's topic in International Nursing

    I 2nd what SD has said re hours etc but you can make them up in some Provinces - check out their websites. No 2 provinces are the same in theor requirements. I also 2nd what she said re living in...

  22. Crne feb 2009 exam

    RGN1 replied to Ymanuel's topic in International Nursing

    I got an average of 83% 1st attempt scores, across the board, when I studied, including the on-line test. The test will tell you where you went wrong & where you need to refocus your study. Do...

  23. CPR, BCLS for CRNE

    RGN1 replied to rosetulip's topic in International Nursing

    THe questions in the CNA book & on-line test are the closest to the style you will get in the exam. The exam is just a lot more tricky. Therefore, make sure you fully understand the rationales for...

  24. advice from u.k nurses in canada on relocation

    RGN1 replied to sabrino76's topic in International Nursing

    Oh my goodness Ibby - as SD said - you're as bad as my daughter!! She also decided to check out the Canadian Health Service early on by cracking a bone in her ankle on our friands trampoline 2 days...

  25. Crne feb 2009 exam

    RGN1 replied to Ymanuel's topic in International Nursing

    Mosby is way too technical, don't sweat it! You do feel like you've been through the mill on the day but if you have done the CNA book & worked through the on-line test & done well on them...
