Hi, I am a new nurse grad RN also and very nervous. I did my preceptorship in Public health and loved it but when I graduated I moved to the big city where my husband got a job and only could get a New nurse grad position (any position really) At the general hospital in Medical stroke unit. I am the nervous type AM care is always falling behind and I look up all drugs which is time consuming...etc and I feel my perceptor is always taking off and helping other nurses because she wants me to do the work myself, etc.... I need to make this work because I have a 5 yr old daughter to look after. My teacher said that it would take 2 yrs before feeling confident on the floor. I am always nervous and think ppl are complaining about my work. I want to work 2 yrs at least in the hospital so that I have assessment skills down and a better understanding of meds and patient care. I would love to work a public health unit or CCAC or medical device company in the future. Just so you know you ar not alone my and best friend from nursing school are in the same boat as you.

The exam is now 4 hrs and around 200 questions. The same all over Canada.

I really feel for you because I am also a late in life student and the demands are very tuff at this phase in life. I would recommend you write the exam in another country eg USA. Don't give up you BScN statis so quickly. I would also get a lawyer and see my legal rights and loop holes. If you do get another chance, try and take a prep course, It might help. Good Luck with your future plans

I passed the exam and I went to Nipissing University and did the exam in Hamilton. I used the Mosby CRNE lastest edition,CRNE prep book, and CRNE online sample test. I also did a six day (over 3 weeks) prep course that really help me out in the Toronto area (Toronto school of health). Hope this information can help someone.
