I graduated in 2010 and failed CRNE twice. How many years after graduating from nursing school do we have to write CRNE. I thought we have 5 years to write. Am I right or wrong?

Sure I will be in Toronto in the first week of august. We will make study plans. I live in Etobicoke though so we will see.

I already tried but not enough practice questions or online sites for practice questions related to CRNE I find here...its all the name of the books, prep courses thts it... Also for everything its money, money and money...for NCLEX I found everything on allnurses and didn't had to pay a single penny whereas for CRNE even to get 100 question bank book there is money going out of my pocket...I am unemployed so don't have that much money to spend on prep courses and books. In toronto public library every book has long line of holds...I wish CRNE had atleast easy access to prepare for the people who are jobless and paying $508 just to write it.

hey all, I need help with math questions in CRNE..is it possible for anyone to share few and focus on the strategies to solve them efficiently??? Not only math calculations but also need help to prepare myself to answer community health nursing related questions. Best strategy to answer them and to prepare the whole section of community nursing. What points should we focus more and like that. I see there is a lot of stuff on allnurses to prepare for NCLEX and very less for CRNE so lets start building it. I mean from the beginning. Topics, meds, med calculations, community nursing, etc.

Hey all fellows...I gave CRNE in 2010..used my 2 chances failed and now after passing NCLEX I am planning to use my last chance in OCT 2012...is there any changes since 2010 in CRNE??? Any good suggestions for prep courses???

I am from canada did my BScN from York university ready to apply for visa screen but confused about the part where we have to send an application to our university from we have perused the degree. How did you apply for it? I mean do we send the application direct to the university? How de we pay for it and how do we know the university is processing it?

If you want to write NCLEX then go through Minnesota Board of Nursing because it is least time consuming. I mean you can get ATT within few weeks after filling up the application of Minnesota Board of nursing. However, I just learn that we have to have visa screen certificate in order to get a work a visa which might be a long process. I will be applying for it next week lets see how long it takes.

Visa screen certificate is mandatory??? I mean if I only want to work in USA on work visa and don't want to go for green card do I still need to go through visa screen??? I am a canadian citizen and passed NCLEX.

Hello all, I am a canadian citizen and passed NCLEX but living in US on H4 visa so my question is do I have to go through this CGFNS? I mean I am so lost don't know what to do next after passing NCLEX. I failed CRNE 3 times and can't work in Canada as a RN so wrote NCLEX and passed hoping I will soon be working but it isn't easy..so please someone help me. any information is appreciated. Any recruiter ready to hire new graduate because they all need experienced one..

https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/crazy-nclex-day-677002.html Weblink listed above is the one from where I downloaded 4000 n all. It is really helpful.

Finally after 2 trials I am really glad to see GOOD POP UP...I had NCLEX RN on 10th march @ 8am. Went in really nervous but had a good start and I thought the exam was really easy. 85 to 90 questions didn't actually see the exact number because I started to get nervous after 75 questions. Had 10 to 12 SATAS, few meds, few peds, 2-3 drag and drop, 2-3 images,2-3 exibits one. checked PVT after an hour and was really happy. Here is some helpful free tools that helped me to pass the exam: For ECG this website is the only thing u have to do: http://www.skillstat.com/Flash/ECGSim531.html Saunders 5th edition, LaCHarity, Kaplan questions. I have downloaded 4000, Kaplan question trainers from this website only thanks to ALLNURSES website it wouldn't have been possible without this helpful website and you people who keep posting nice nice study tools. I am not going to pay for quick results now because I trust PVT and now I will wait for my reasults that I get in mail.

Least Invasive First Pain never killed anyone Never release traction UNLESS you have an order from the MD to do so Polyuria--Think shock first If you have never heard of it.... Don't pick it! Anytime you see fluid retention... Think heart problems first Stay away from restraints as long as you can... Remember the NCLEX is a perfect world. Do not pick an answer that delays care or treatment. Never pick an answer that does not allow your patient to speak. Select a "patient focused" answer. With priority questions... Remember you can only send one message to the NCLEX lady... so you must pick the "killer" answer ADH--Think H2O Aldosterone--Think sodium AND water With SIADH--TOO many letters TOO much WATER More Volume--More Pressure Less Volume--Less Pressure Anytime you see the words "assessment" or "evaluation" think pertinent signs and symptoms There will not be a test questions unless there is something to WORRY about... Assume the WORST If there is something you can do about the problem first... do that before calling the doctor Hypoxia may be the first sign of respiratory acidosis With restless patient... think hypoxia first Limit protein in kidney patients EXCEPT with Nephrotic syndrome Like illness can be put in the same room together If there are any long term consequences to your patient with the answer you pick, you should not pick that answer. Assess before implementing If you have a fluid problem you have a Na problem too If you have a fluid problem... you will do I&O and daily weights "Always" and "whenever" are TOO definite Read the questions.... Then decide what you are WORRIED about... then pick an answer that you can do to SOLVE the problem If you see words like "assessment" or "evaluation" in the stem of the question.... Think pertainate signs and symptoms. The presents or absence of the signs or symptoms. You can't use medical dx in a nursing diagnosis You will report something "new" or different" or "possible" to the next shift nurse. If you can narrow the answers down to 2 answers... pick the more life threatening answer. Anytime you have a magnesium or calcium question... think muscles first. Digoxin + hypokalemia= toxicity You elevate veins and dangle arteries. Always worry if the rate decreased with a pacemaker Never pick an answer that puts your work off on anyone else Never pick an answer that does not allow your patient to speak Never pick an answer that ignores or brushes off the patient's compliant. If the answer is not applicable to the situation... don't pick it.

You should report first and then document....only applies for child/elderly abuse though

"The nurse receives a change-of-shift report for a 76-year-old client who had a total hip replacement. The client is not oriented to time, place, or person and is attempting to get out of bed and pull out an I.V. line that's supplying hydration and antibiotics. The client has a vest restraint and bilateral soft wrist restraints. Which action by the nurse would be appropriate? Select all that apply: 1. Assess and document the behavior that requires continued use of restraints. 2. Tie the restraints in quick-release knots. 3. Tie the restraints to the side rails of the bed. 4. Ask the client if he needs to go to the bathroom and provide range-of-motion exercises every 2 hours. 5. Position the vest restraints so that the straps are crossed in the back." I don't get 4 as an answer bcoz the client is not oriented so how can we ask the client?

thanks for the clarification..:)
