Hello every1, I am going to take CRNE in October 2010. I need your tips and suggestions. I am registered with CARNA (Alberta board of Nursing) but going to take my exam in Toronto. I guess CRNE is standardized exam and is same all over Canada. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you

Thank you soo much Raila and Good luck. Be calm and relax.

hi: i am glad that now you have less anxiety. let me just clarify one small thing. day 1 assessment: one of their nurses acted like a patent so it was kinda real and day 2 was interview based. good luck

hi: i do not have any problem. you are more than welcome to ask and i will try my best to give u all the information. i know the anxiety you have right now. day1: 7 cards for 1 patient like from admission to discharge. for example card 1: health history card 2: discuss problems with assessor and drug calculation card 3: head to toe assessment card 4: i/v set and i/v bag change card 5: medication administration (i/m, i/v, s/c, inhaler) card 6: wound dressing card 7: discharge teaching day 2: written was paper pen exam. assessment was one-on-one interview based. no physical patient. it was all talking and talking. in addition, 11 scenarios were 11 different situations. for example: post-op patient is restless and confused what could be the reason? actually, i am in hurry right now and sorry if i have missed anything. let me know anything else you want to know. thank you

hi mt 66, i am glad that now you have an idea about sec assessment. after assessment they gave me self-assessment form which i need to complete and then fax back to them. drug calculation: (example) 1. order is to give 500mg and available is 1000mg/5ml. so how many ml you will administer? 2. order 3mg and available is 0.75mg/tab. how many tablet will you give? 3. pt is receiving 250 ml/hr. total infusion per day? let me know if you need any further information thank you

hi: sorry for delay. actually i just came from calgary. for sure i will help you and i will share my experience with you. it was a 2-day exam in gn. it was my understanding that i am doing one day theory and second day practical but, i was surprised when the lady told me that because of the room and assessor availability they have changed the schedule. anyways i have to do it so i was nervous but calm. day1: in morning mcq's 103 question. less theory and more n more psychosocial and priority based but do concentrate on theory as well. must review crne prep guide. afternoon was a tough. i was given 7 cards to perform. i was given a patient and basically i have to take care of her from admission to discharge. following are the steps. 1. patient's history 2. head to toe assessment 3. medication (oral, im, sc, inhaler) 4. wound dressing 5. discharge teaching 6. most important communication skills it took me almost 3hours. too much.................. day 2: morning, short question and answer again priority based, lots of drug calculation, drugs, situational based scenarios. again i took me good 3.5 hrs. afternoon was a pretty short and quick. i was give 11 scenario to read and to respond in 3 minutes again theory and priority (clinical judgment) for triple jump assessment, i was given situation with minimal data so i have to asked question to get more data, identify problems, plan and make nursing diagnosis, implement and evaluate. that's it............ sorry for any writing error. i am in a quick but, i wanted to share this information. you know sometime it really helps to decrease anxiety. good luck and let me know if you need any further information. i wish you good luck.

Hi: I need your help. I have my SEC Assessment day after tomorrow and I am really tensed about OSCE. Right now my anxiety level is way too high. Could you please share your experience about Assessment?. Thank you
