    petethecanuck replied to bella.donna's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    It was previously posted that the pass mark is 550/800 (modified scale score) which equates to ~ 69%. Assuming there were 20 experimental questions, one could deduce that the raw pass score is around...

    petethecanuck replied to bella.donna's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Yeah, I believe the results are mailed to your provincial college and then they in turn mail the results to you. @ Carebear I hear you. I did the accelerated track at the U of C and my training...

    petethecanuck replied to bella.donna's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    There are probably a few more then 2000 people wrote in June. :) I think AB alone graduates close to 1800 nurses each year. A few more weeks and we will know either way. Hope everyone receives good...

  10. CRNE June 2012

    petethecanuck replied to bella.donna's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    That's what I figured you were asking about which is why I "tried" to show how to do it via the long division method. :) @ Keemooy. #4 is not the answer to that question. #1 is. You wouldn't raise...

    petethecanuck replied to bella.donna's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Do not resuscitate (DNR) basically means no life saving measures will be undertaken (intubation, ACLS protocols etc) in the event of a code. Someone with a no CPR (chest compressions) order is giving...

    petethecanuck replied to bella.donna's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    1 My rationale: Patients with right sided HF are susceptible to systemic fluid overload. Restricting fluid intake will help mitigate edema in the lower extremities. - I could see how answer 4 may...

  17. CRNE June 2012

    petethecanuck replied to bella.donna's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    A sample size of 2 exams (June and Oct 2010) is hardly any reason to worry. We still have 2 weeks until the exam and if you have properly prepared it shouldn't matter what the pass rate was 2 years...

    petethecanuck replied to Lols ireland's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

  21. CRNE February 2012

    petethecanuck replied to Lols ireland's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    I have to agree with Silverdragon102 and Dishes. While I'm really sorry the fire alarm went off during your exam for what 10 min?..., waiting 6 weeks to complain seems baffling to me. Why didn't...

    petethecanuck replied to RN-glow's topic in International Nursing
