Hey mysterious! Books: I just read the books Mosby's and the Prep Guide (check complete title on the first page of this thread). Tips: Answer many questions as you can. At least 100 questions per day. Be careful on what the question is asking you. When you get the mosby's book (orange one), there's a part there about test taking strategies. Read that. It's very important and it helped me A LOT. I found the Prep Guide helpful too. Although I've read some comments that it didn't help them at all. For me it did help me in some ways, like, I got the idea about what the real exam would be like. It won't hurt you at all if you read it. Exam: January 2011 exam was tricky. There were 2 books and each book contained 135 questions (if i remember it right) You are allowed to go to washroom anytime. But be quick! So you have time to read each question carefully and not in a hurry because you're running out of time. Manage your time and read the question at least twice and not just once (cuz you might missed some good keywords). Eat GOOD breakfast and lunch (Don't skip lunch. You need it to fuel your brain). Drink water as well. I wish you all the best and good luck! May God bless you.

Hi angel_doc. Im sorry, I hope you'll feel better soon... My suggestion, if you can afford and it's ok for you to spend $56, then GO for it. If somehow it can eliminate the doubts and give you peace of mind then it's worth to pay for the hand-scoring. Maybe it can also help you to move on and help you focus and concentrate on your review...But it's really up to you... Wish you all the best and good luck. God bless you.

Hi everyone. I just got the mail from CNO and I PASSED!!! I received a small envelope with just 1 sheet. I couldn't explain the feeling but I am very happy & feeling relieved. God is Good. I Love You God. You're the best! I would like to CONGRATULATE everybody who passed as well. We're now. Still thinking where to celebrate :)

Oh geee, so by the envelope itself, you'll know if you pass or not...that's scary! And now, I'm nervous The most important thing was that we did our best and we will just leave the rest to God and ask Him to please give us strength to help us to be prepared for whatever the result might be. Again, Good Luck to all of us. Please keep us posted with your result.

If you'll earn way more than the expense from getting the temp. license and if it's an easy process then I think it's ok. But if not that much then it's better to wait for the result to come out. 3 weeks, not that bad though it's killing me softly. May God bless us all.

I graduated from Centennial 2 years ago but I didn't write the exam right away because I have to go back home. Then I came back here last year and decided to take it so I could find a good job. So I cannot gauge exactly if my school prepared me or not. All I can say is I have to read the whole thing again because I forgot almost 80% of it. I am an above average student. How about you guys?

Today when I checked my answers (I remember some of the questions, how I wish I could share them with you), so far, I found 4 mistakes (knowledge-based) which dropping my chance to pass it. 2-because of too much analyzing the question,1- I was confused and 1- I changed my answer during my last minutes (I was tempted to change more or less 10 answers for the 2 books). So what more to those questions that need critical thinking? I think I failed it I am thinking about how they score it as well. Feeling so bad & still hoping for a miracle to happen

I guess the exam is neutral but very tricky Hoping for a miracle to pass this...

Good Luck and God bless to all who will write the exam! :)

Thank you heymackzzzz! :)

Hi Kissabelle. I haven't found any canadian comprehensive review (textbook) for CPNRE or practical nursing though. So I am using the Mosby's Canadian Comprehensive Review of Nursing. Wishing us all the luck :)

good luck and God bless to all of you! :)

good luck and God bless to all who will write the CPNRE today!

As I reached the first "review questions" at the end of the chapter of the book (mosby's canadian comprehensive review of nursing ), I wonder if these questions are for CRNE only and not for CPNRE? Am I going to skip the review questions of the book or not??? Because for the fact that there are some difference between the role of a Registered Nurse and Registered Practical Nurse. I am worried that the approach in answering the questions or answers to the questions are for the CRNE and not for the CPNRE. Hope to receive some answers. Thanks

Hi AllNurses . I will be writing the CPNRE on January 2011. My study materials are: -Mosby's Canadian Comprehensive Review of Nursing 2nd Edition and -The Canadian PN Exam Prep Guide 3rd Edition. To all test takers for January 2011 (hoping that I am not the only one here), please join and we'll support each other to stay on track and keep on going. To all other members who passed the exam or knowledgeable about the CPNRE, please give some inputs. Badly needed. Thank you. A prayer to all of us, "Lord God, our Saviour, we are asking for your guidance for the upcoming CPNRE. Help us to comprehend what we are studying and give us wisdom to pass the exam. Please Lord. In Jesus Name, Amen". Will always keep you posted :)
