Thanks for all the info, Canoehead! Hi liliclover.. there are several LPN jobs posted on the Calgary Health Region website and nursing homes are in need of LPNs, too.. https://calgaryhealthregion.ats.hrsmart.com/cgi-bin/a/searchjobs_quick.cgi I would also check jobbank.gc.ca, wowjobs, indeed, careerbuilder and simplyhired. Good luck! =)

Thanks, Janfrn.. =) Sorry about that.. I will welcome tips and advices about safe living areas in Halifax for public posts. PM please for any personal messages! :tku:

Hi! I am moving to Halifax (from Calgary) by the end of June or July 1st. I have read in a separate post that the good areas to live/rent in Halifax are Clayton Park, Bedford and Sackville. Any other tips for rental places? :) I've been checking Kijiji and I think I have a lot of options for temporary summer sublet. It will give me enough time to look for a better place for long-term stay. However, I was wondering if there is anybody our there looking for a roommate or who knows anyone looking for a roommate? Thanks!

I am really sorry that you failed the CRNE for the 3rd time. I do not wish to address you by your current Allnurses ID as it is not very encouraging.. I would rather call you "meanttobeanurse" because the mind is a powerful thing.. if you believe that you can do it, you will exhaust all means to reach your goal.. At the moment, I do not know what to say to make you feel better I also do not know what options there are for you until you receive the letter from CNO but I hope you find strength and encouragement through this thread: Before the Morning (Failed CRNE three times. what now?) - Nursing for Nurses Please don't give up..

I'm so happy for you, RescueNinja!!!! Finally, GREAT NEWS after the looooooooooooong wait!! Congratulations to everyone who passed and to those who were not successful in the exam, please believe that you WILL make it next time.. don't give up.. with hard work and a positive attitude, anything is possible :hug:

My heart goes out to those who did not pass please don't give up, believe that you will make it next time.. I'm so sorry..

I'm so happy for you, Jess1ca!!!! :ancong!: Now go out, have fun & enjoy the rest of the Stampede festivities!!!

Hi fixmypctoday, I used the 4th & 5th editions of the CRNE Prep Guide. Will this be your first time to write a nursing exam? Being an IEN, I already reviewed extensively for my Philippine Nursing Licensure Exam. Aside from my textbooks (I read the Fundamentals of Nursing textbook from cover to cover that time), I used Saunders & Lippincott Nclex Review CDs to practice answering multiple choice questions which is similar to the CRNE Prep Guide with rationales for correct & incorrect answers. It is important to review what you learned in school but it is also important to practice answering multiple choice questions within a specific time frame. For the June 2010 CRNE, we had to answer 208 questions within 4 hours (that means at least 50 questions every hour). Good luck! :)

Got the results from CRNNS... I passed!!!!! I'd like to thank the moderators & members of allnurses for all the information that has been shared here.. from registration procedures to CRNE study tips.. thank you soooooooooo much!!!

Congratulations, crne2010! :clpty:

My apologies, Silverdragon102.. I appreciate the reminder.. as for the survey, the examinee who was submitting her booklet & answer sheet was filling out the survey portion of the answer sheet at the invigilator's table which caused a line up behind her.. maybe it was optional and she chose to complete the survey.. =)

whitebunny, i'll send you a PM soon.. i just need 3 more public posts.. =)

hi jess1ca.. it is frustrating.. i want to mention some of the questions from yesterday's exam soooooo bad but we did sign a confidentiality form..

A very wise former professor once said that if there was only a minute left and still lots questions unanswered, pick a letter between B or C and just shade away.. I did that one time during a mock exam and shaded all C's in one straight line.. I got 9 correct answers out of 20.. not bad, ei? whitebunny, my fingers are crossed.. I believe in the power of the mind.. we studied hard, we will pass! =) same goes to everyone who wrote the exam yesterday.. let's hope for the best.. now we wait.. and send out resumes, no time to waste..

Ohhh the invigilators made sure we did the survey.. maybe that caused the line up for handing in the exam booklet & answer sheet.. aside from checking the ID again, they asked test takers to shade the survey before they left..
