I believe this discussion has gone overboard for me, but I still stay standing with what I said. In the end its the college's decicision, good luck.

Hi yes I passed the CRNE. Therefore I know what a struggle it can be to pass this exam. The RN diploma program in ontario was a 3 year program which ended in 2005, after 2005 all nurses required a degree. CNO makes the rules on who is eligible to wri...

Hello, I would like to state if it is unfair or insulting for an “RN” graduate to write the RPN exam then how is it fair for an RPN to be able to write the CRNE after only 2 years of extra education? Shouldn’t every RPN go through the full 4 year RN ...

Also would like to say it doesn't matter if you fail the first time or second time or 3rd time, it also doesn't matter if you fail by one mark or 10 marks. you have to make in those 3 chances if you get a 4th chance then good for you but realize that...

Wow!! thats all i can really say after reading all the comments posted on here. First off you have 5 years to take the CRNE after graduation, therefore if your not ready DO NOT TAKE THE EXAM!! (Espicially when this is your last chance) The CNO has a ...

yes Mosby's comprehensive book is useful but very detailed and hard to study from (in my opinion). CNA prepguide is the most useful in order to prepare for the exam.

In regards to rule/regulations you should check out CNO Compendium. (college of nurses of ontario) this is what we are told to study, you can download the compendium and it has sections. For example, confidentiality/practice guidelines etc...

The answer is actually #1 encourage her to feed herself. I picked #3 as well. The rational provided was encouraging her to feed herself would provide her encouragment and she would be involved in her care. I don't totally agree because it did say she...

To ensure optimum nutrition, the nurse may find that Mrs. Jacob needs assistance with eating. To accomplish this, what action should the nurse take? 1.Eencourage her to participate in the feeding process 2. Feed Mrs. Jacob to conserve energy 3. Reque...

The answer is A. Albumin maintains colloid oncontic pressure in the intravascular space. When there is a decrease in albumin, fluids goes interstial, and one of the manisfestation being crackles. We can focus on anything upto you guys. Thanks.

Hello, I have a quick question does anyone know how I can set up this thread to my email. For example, when someone messages or reply to this thread I can get a message on my email any ideas? thank you.

Fluids and Electrolytes Decreased protein level in the blood results to A. Crackles B. Hypertension C. Confusion D. Moist Mucous membrane

I Pick D for that previous Question. The average weight gain should be 25-35lb to prevent intrauterine growth retardation. It is also important to monitor weight in regards to PIH. 1st trimester 3lb 2nd trimester 12lb 3rd trimester 12lb

Hi, the blue print basically outlines the exam, it talks about competencies, it has a glossory thats about it. The only reason I bought it was because I know its a new exam different from other examinations. Its upto you to buy or not but it doesn't ...

I am going to say B because of the entire labour and delivery process. Otherwise i have no clue really.

The answer to this question is B. A is not correct because not everyone shows s/s at the beginning of a communicable disease therefore they can be symptomatic C The nursing home has no policy on who can/cannot visit D This is a good choice but answer...

This is a reworded question, I think we are not allowed to post exact questions from textbooks. A family likes to visit their 95 year old grandmother who lives in a nursing home. What is an important advice for the nurse to provide to the family in o...

Hello, I believe the placental lactogen which is aka. Human Chorionic somatropin hormone plays a huge role in regards to metabolism-diabetes, it antagonizes insulin, therefore glucose may spill in the urine which can lead to polyuria (one way of look...

Yes I was debating between A &C too. But i was thinking that polyuria can also occur after the delivery because increase in estrogen would cause NA+ and water retention. Polyuria would help the mother release all the retained fluid. Did you come ...

I think it could be C. Because you have increase in blood volume during pregnancy. Not too sure though.

Thanks, I think thats a great idea as we start reading we can contribute by posting the important stuff on each of the topics, at the same time questions can also be answered. let me know about the new thread, thanks. life03.

I think everyone would definately benefit from the idea, I don't know how to start a new thread but I would like to participate. So for example, if we have the topic "maternity" people can ask specific questions or so on is this what you have in mind...

Thanks Akardan, your right it is a lot to go through, I will definately brush up on the topics that are in the CRNE prepguide. By the way are you writing in Ontario?

hello, since june exam is approching soon, wondering how is everyone planning on to study? any feedback would be appreciated thanks.
