Thanks for the input. I will try to renew it online and let you know the result.

Hi: I am out of the country with my husband. My license will expire in July 2010. I was wondering if I could just wait another year to renew my license. How difficult it is to renew the license after a gap in ACTIVE status ? Any input or suggestion is highly appreciated. -SA

I don't know if people are that ignorant about the differences between Nurses and doctors. Everyone has their reason for not doing what people think is more important but I would say this... 'Doctors are in short supplies as compared to nurses because it is easier to become a RN than a doctor. When something is in sort supplies, it is perceived more valuable than others.' This is simple economics !! Does not matter who is more intelligent or who does more work !!!

I wonder when seeking advice from those who had gone through the exam had became a crime !!! You need a break once a while while you are studying for the exam. I wish you good luck and hope you pass with flying colors this time...

Hi: I took CRNE preparation course in Macwan University Edmonton August 09. It really helped me to understand competencies for Registered Nurses Profession. I am educated in USA and was RN there but did not know what to expect in CRNE. This course gave me some idea about 'types of' questions and also helped me to practice little bit with questions. There were many from Calgary and few from out of province all of those I got in touch with passed the exam in a single attempt. What I used for the prep was: 1. This Course 2. CRNE prep guide 3. Mosby's Comprehensive guide for Canadian RN Exam 3. Lippincot I would suggest you to take this class. It will definitely help you. Good luck...I hope you will pass it this time !!!

yay..........I passed. Thank you GOD.

I called CARNA (Alberta) they are mailing out results this week. Congratulation to all those who have passed.

Have you tried CRNE preparation course in Macwan College. I am going to that class on Aug 31, Sep 02 (3 days). If you know about the other ;Killer Course' with 90% passing rate, let me know. I will be next in line with you. Saroj

The wait is almost over. I found out CARNA mailed my letter yesterday. I will be receiving it may be tomorrow:bugeyes:.

I called CARNA, they told me all my application requirement is complete and went for assessment. Now it will take 3-4 month:bowingpur.

Hi All: I am RN from United States and I recently applied for CARNA Assessment in Feb 2009. I checked my assessment status and they received all the 'required documents' in March 26, 2009 and forwarded my application for full assessment. Just today (May 05, 2009), when I checked my status I found that they updated cleared date on my Preliminary Assessment section. Does anyone has experience what this really means ? Did they approved my preliminary assessment ? Thanks for your help and I look forward to hearing from you. Saroj

Yes, just uninstall the program and install it again. It worked for me.

My wife is going for BS->BSN degree after getting fedup with her computer engg job. I am software ebgineer and I make in the range of $90+/hr in CA. After 50+K of tution and 1.5 years of hardwork, I don't think she will be heppy to know what she will be making when she finally graduates. I know it makes no sense to switch from 'high paying' profession to 'low paying' profession, but we did it because we were just tired of living seperate or getting scared when my assignment will be over !! Peace of mind and being together has no price tag. So people, we all have have our reasons for quitting a job, swiching a job or moving to a new place. All you need is to find your priorities in life. Nursing pay is pathetic but I will not rule out the other nenefits that made us (me and my wife) to lower our pay scale. I am sure it will be worthwhile. Nepsys

Wdwpixie: My apologies if I was being too strong in my response. I am really impressed by the mild and 'constructive way' people answer and 'put their point across' in these forums in allnurses.com. I guess that is what nurses are all about....being humble, caring and comforting. I hope you will find a very fulfilling and satisfying career and be happy when you finally complete your nursing degree. I also wish the same when my wife comes home with a BSN degree. As I said in my earlier response, I believe that 'money will follow you wherever you go if you have desire to work hard but your happyness will leave you where you left it' !! Once again, my apology if I came out too strong when I did not like some of the comments about the 'engineers'. I am sure you know how we can get when we disagree...:-).

I can see why you guys changed you career but don't forget what engineers contribute to the society !! The thing that you guys use to see if the baby's heart rate is normal or the thing that you guys use to save someone's life and feel the satisfaction of being useful in someone's life is also 'somebody elses' creation and a way to contribute to the society'. There is something for everyone to work for and contribute to. It is just that some of us get more satisfaction when it involves a direct interaction with 'the end user'. As for me...I cannot satnd to see the blood but will rock when I see a 'highend, superfast computer'. Is there anything wrong with me...? May be not !! I am not trying to offend or defend anyone but just wanted to let all of us know that we are helping eachother in lot more ways than we actually think. It is the fact whether we like it or not. Cheers !!
