Has anyone who is going to register as an RN, RPN or NP in Ontario written the new Jurisprudence exam? I just wrote it now and it was just terrible. And I don't even have my results yet. Frustrating and just awful.

Hi Invitale, Thanks for your feedback. I wish to address one thing first; unfortunately current research on respite care isn't so promising in terms of enhancing caregiver outcomes . I am not sure which research you are referring to, but I have read ...

Abuse, within the context of geriatrics and especially long-term care, is a well-documented global phenomenon. Geriatric citizens are already a marginalized and oppressed demographic, so it's not surprising that abuse is interwoven throughout the liv...

Hey heron, These are great questions you've posed! And I wish I could give you an answer to them, but unfortunately I can't. I wish to raise awareness. The first part of addressing a problem is recognizing it and I feel that the abuse some caregiver...

Hi CapeCodMermaid, Actually, intent is not a requirement for abuse outside of legal situations. The only time intent matters is if you take an abuse case to court, the courts must prove "criminal intent" or "intent of harm". All of the terms used in ...

Yeah, it sounded weird to me at first too! But it turns out MRSA and VRE are sensitive to it,.which are the bacteria that concern me the most. It's also cheap and readily available. It's good for stains totoo!

I am surprised with some of the comments. This is a topic I am very passionate about, and have considered studying further (currently doing Graduate work in clinical infectious diseases) I personally use 1/2 cup pine sol with laundry detergent and co...

Did you ever find the information you were looking for? I am interested in the same thing. I have my BSN and want to do MA in Clinical Psych. I contacted the graduate school for psychology and they said that I would have to redo a undergrad which is ...

As a student nurse I have been quite bipolar. Going through phases of loving nursing and phases of hating nursing. I have come to understand that this is a basic part of nursing. You either accept it or get out. One will have times of euphoria and on...

Here's your first lesson as a new grad... Wong-Baker Rating scale... doesn't really cover all responses.

Passed!! =D So greatful! Thank you everyone for your support :).

Hey everyone! Have any of you write the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination (CRNE) February 6th? If so, how did you find it? When can we expect to get the results back?

I finally got my results like, a week ago after fighting with the CNO. Passed. Phew!

Hey! Thanks for the encouragement guys :)!! And fairy_c, no I haven't . I called them Friday and they FINALLY agreed to resend them. I am having them sent to my friend's business office, with the thinking that mail delievered to businesses is more s...

I'm on Brockville, Ontario (Ottawa area). But my friend lives here too and she got her results yesterday!

Littlezhuzhu, are you in Ontario right now? Any results yet?

Hey littlezhuzhu, I too am still waiting for my results here in Ontario . To make matters worse, all of my friends have gotten their results! I feel sick. Absolutely sick! I am so scared!

Hey Brownie_43, My friend who graduated last year got an HFO job and a temporary license to start prior to getting her results, she then failed and was pulled from her position at the hospital. However, it was held for her until she passed her exam a...

Thanks for the random fact but just to sort of reiterate my statement, I said nothing about being e-mailed the results, I said the CNO hosts something where you log on and check your results. Kind of like every university does with webadvisor or the ...

I really think they should just have the results online or something. Like, you can log online and check your results. It seems kind of terrible that they mail us because I mean, in this day and age, everything is done on the computer AND mail servic...

So did you end up getting you results soon after?

Where did you hear this from? I read somewhere (I think on here) that PEI generally gets the results first. It's the same exam right? The CRNE is nation wide, it's just the colleges that distribute it and regulate nurses are different from province t...

I take that back, some questions asked about nursing interventions but surprisingly I felt there were more asking about medical interventions than nursing. Some questions asked for particular drugs and stuff that would be used to treat particular ill...

I wrote in February and I personally found them very pathology, critical thinking, medical based. People who wrote before me said how it was all about community but there were very few community questions. Some of the questions on the exam even asked...

Ontario.
