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

    No worries d'android. Good luck! @MattJoey. I'm sorry mate but the stats don't back up that claim. Over 90% of Canadian-trained CRNE writers pass compared to only 70% of IEN writers. I would argue...

  3. CRNE February 2012

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

    @ d'android. I've heard good feedback from friends who've taken the Primed course. It's not too expensive but is pretty intensive (16 hrs over two days). I plan on taking it this May as part of my...

  7. Applying for a Masters in Nursing Program

    petethecanuck replied to mudiwa's topic in International Nursing

    That's a pretty broad question. How long have you been practicing for? What school(s) are you interested in? Will you be working or doing your masters full time? Would you be open to doing your...

  10. mid-life career switch

    petethecanuck replied to ab_nurse_wonnabe's topic in International Nursing

    First I would ask yourself, why nursing? Seriously. Really think hard about it. If you find nursing really does interest you. Try and find a nurse to shadow, go to your local uni and talk to a...

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

  14. ACLS certification as a student

    petethecanuck replied to petethecanuck's topic in International Nursing

    Top choices for my final focus are in med/sug, medical teaching (PCU 36 at FMC) and oncology (Tom Baker). I did chose ICU and Emerge but they are way down the list. I'm definitely open to working in...

  16. CRNE Attempt 2 on Oct 5th

    petethecanuck replied to jl.char's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    These next two weeks I would do lots and lots and lots of questions. Time yourself and see where you are at. It sounds like time management is a big issue. I don't write until June but I'm already...

    petethecanuck replied to MattJoey's topic in Canada

    petethecanuck replied to caramelgalore's topic in International Nursing

    Kind of hard to miss it when you resurrect a two year old thread and bump it to the top of the front page, of course we are going to read it. Congrats on being done, I'm getting near the end myself...

  19. Mount Royal Nursing program

    petethecanuck replied to Beebop25's topic in International Nursing

    petethecanuck replied to MissMcCoy's topic in Canada

    This is a very depressing thread to read for someone who is getting ready to graduate. That said, the majority of my friends in the BNAT class ahead of me who just graduated were able to secure...
