I checked my mailbox today and nothing . But this is only the 4th week so I am still anxiously waiting. Praying that good news is on its way! haha

Hey everyone! I am curious about something. Has anyone done a non-nursing masters (with the obvious exclusion of an MBA which is completely focused on admin) degree? If so, in what field and what is your experience with having it? Did you find it he...

Did you pass your NCLEX?

Hey donk, I think that is the route I would take personally. But I think by the time you will be writing your exams, the CRNE prep guide will have changed to accomodate this change in testing. It is also important to note that the NCLEX is a lot mor...

No, unforunately I do not. It is just my opinion drawn from anecdotes of previous test writers, current test writers (I just wrote on the 6th) and individuals involved in creating test bank questions. But, from my perspective, the CRNE was nothing li...

It is my understanding, after talking with people involved in writing the CRNE and with nursing scholars in Ontario, that indeed we are shifting to the NCLEX. It is not just "let's do the CRNE on Computers", the company that does NCLEX has bought out...

Where did you study nursing? I found it so so. I didn't expect it to be so medically based (which I like). I was expecting there to be a lot of community and public health related questions, but I found it to be kind of the opposite. Probably because...

Firstly, I want to say thank you very much for your kind and very supportive words! It really hears a lot to hear these things and also is really nice to see that there are really like-minded people out there. In reality, nursing isn’t its own entity...

Yeah, some places will let you do it and others won't. It depends a lot on the union, if you work in a unionized place chacnes are it would be more difficult to do it. The best way may be to just not renew your registration as an RN if you want to wo...

How did you find it?

So, how did you find the exam on the 6th?

I don't think everyone has theirs yet? Do you know anyone else who has them? I think many of the people who were posting just went to bed haha. Don't worry, try to stay optomistic :). That's what I tried to do at least even though it was really diff...

Finally received my results! I passed, thank god! :) Hope everyone else did well and receives them soon! =D

Really CNO? REALLY?!?! It's 30 minutes to and still absolutely nothing. So basically they flat out lied to us about when they were going to send us these results.

Ottawa here and absolutely nothing. I have basically abandoned hope that I will see the results tonight. But you never know. I feel like writing a strongly worded message to the CNO indicating how unprofessional and dangerous it is for a professional...

WHAT?! Now I am nervous. Has anyone else received theirs?

I hope, I really wish I could just let this go but I really can't. It's really bothering me. I think I would them rather have not given us a date they were going to send the results than do this to us. This is torture. And I am already stressed out b...

Oh and Yardstick is closed at 5 pm..... so... what is going on?

I agree, I am really annoyed with the CNO AND am really worried about this stupid exam. This is just causing so much unwanted stress and the whole making you wait and then leading you on and making you wait again is just really annoying. I want to sa...

So.. I called the CNO at 4:30 (currently 4:54 Ottawa/Ontario Time) and they said the results 'should' be released in a half an hour (5 PM), but they ARE going to be released today for sure. So... let's hope in 5 minutes! Yikes! I am getting really n...

To be an NP you would need a BSN at least plus at minimum a masters (you don't need a DNP but if you want to be called doctor then go for it ). The BSN would be comparable to medical school in the sense of you are constantly in class, when you're no...

This is so frustrating . Like it's a digital exam! Why is this so difficult for them?

So does anyone know what time tomorrow the results are supposed to be released?

I agree. But it's the same way they do the actual registration exam. I feel, however, this is a really poor way to allow people to practice. There should be a set standard, you must know at least 70% or 60% of the material before you can practice ...

Well, I just wrote it yesterday and they said it was the review period. But I think that's because they don't even have a grading scheme yet. I would assume they are going to bell curve this like they do the actual registration exam so they may need ...
