hi ann2008 i am sorry to hear this but this is not end of life...Renducalvin is right ...first give sometime to yourself ,,but do not forget to submit the application to rewrite if you are planning for Feb 2009 as yesterday was deadline to make it. What i did was..proceeded with positive attitude,lot of preparation,&above all prayed God to lead me to right direction.I reviewed notes from my School,then did CRNE prep guide atlest 4 times at different intervals..tried to relate to the rationals,did online readiness test...&i attended 2 months prep course whic was very helpful..as their i learnt how to eliminate incorrect responses,how one word can change your answer.So overall i practised more than 3000 questions...though questions in real CRNE were different from all te above...but by practicing i was able to reach to conclusion...i you want any information please let me know(feel free to contact via email)GOD BLESS YOU!!!

And yes i am also IEN,,worked in australia for 2yr,migrated to canada last year .I passed CRNE this Oct without working here first.It would be of help if you could manage to take a prep couse...as CRNE format is really different from Australian registration exam...

hi lilmisswongy..... it all depends on how stable you are financially.If you have no such problem ,i would advice you to focus on CRNE first as you have only 2 months for prepration,,

hey friends...atlast my wait is over...With God's grace i passed!!!!!!!!:hpygrp: God is great .... i would like to thank you all who traveled with me through this long stressful period...&kept me calm through their suggestions....really this is a wonderful site that gives us an opportunity to ventilate ourselves ...:lvan: And i am from ontario&i could make it in my first attempt.Its all because my firm faith in God wo led me to right direction,,,gave me lot of patience,strength to stay positive throughout... GOOD LUCK to all thhose still waiting...thanks to everyone..:bow:

Wow!!!!Congratulations ...Alek:yeah:

hi friends ...i am also sailing in the same boat&have been following this thread from begining..it seems we all are anxiously waiting on for the results.i left the exam centre feeling ok but now that result date is approaching i started getting nightmares,,,its so brutal to have such a long waiting period for results to arrive.But CNA is not to be blamed as they evaluate the answer sheets from entire Canada.As far as i know in one of their bulletin CNA has quoted that they complete evaluation of the test in first 4 weeks approx..&then they mail results to individual provincial regulatory bodies ,,from where they are sent to candidates mailing addreses.So its quite genuine for results to take so long to be out . So friends we are thinking only about ourselves but they have to serve all of us... They are doing their job,,we should do ours i.e pray te almighty with full faith ...may he be our saviour,,God bless all of us...

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GUYS

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!

hi there..many-2 congrates:yeah:..&all d best with ur result:up: actually i am also trying for temp registration...for which i understand i need to have a job offer first..could you please guide me on this..its really tricky to convince employers for a job offer as they would prefer someone with full licensure,,...any assistance would be appreciated ..thanks

Hi ,..i am sure there are vacancies available in GTA area esp William osler centre,,they are recruiting currently:nurse:..You should contact the recruitment office for the process or can apply online at www,williamoslerhc.on.ca... Also.you may choose to try your luck through agencies:typing ..Once your employment is confermed your employer neeed to fill employment offer formwhich you need to submit to college of nurses along with fee..the process will atleast take 15 working days. You can try other health facilities also e.g. Bayshore(www.bayshore.ca),the scarborough hosp(www.tsh.to),Humber river regional hosp (www.hrrh.on.ca). Or Just do google search for hospitals in GTA...you will get a list:uhoh3: ...based on which you can go for your job hunt.I hope would of some help to you. Good luck:up:

hello friends,, Thanx for your valuable advice..and i havechecked with College of nurses of Ontario:nurse: today regarding 250hrs work on interm permit....the response is that as long as you have provided the evidence of safe practice within last five years..its tottly an option for you to work on temporary registration basis,once you pass CRNE you will get your registration is done automatically after submiting the required fee:) And regarding the eligibility to write CRNE..my application is approved &i will be sitting in Oct'08 :typing... Also i found where the gap:bugeyes: is in my resume..actually i am holding CPR certification from australia...although the procedures are same..but i need to upgrade myself with a certificate from canada..Lets see how i will do with my job hunt after this...thanx a lot friends:heartbeat

HI Cheize 86 i bet you must be confused &worried like me.yeh its really crazy:banghead: to find a job in this situation..when you need to be concentrating on your prepration for CRNE too...I know its a very good idea for international graduates like us to have first hand experience in clinical settings here in canada before actually getting on the floor as RN..bt i am bit confused here ..do we need to complete 250hrs:coollook: in clinical area (i mean,, is it compulsory)before registering or its only forthose candidates who got no experience at all..as i got no such information from college of nursing...this will be an addition to my stress:(..can somebody enlighten please...thanx:redpinkhe
