  1. I was just wondering why you picked your username? Is it a nickname? Is there a meaning behind it? My username "made" is the first letters from myself, my husband and my kids. It spells MADE. Molly, Asia, Dawn and Eric. Let's hear yours!
  2. Do patients

    It's not that smokers take extra breaks. It's that non-smokers (some) don't take there breaks, and smokers make it a point to take our breaks. If we don't get charting done or whatever, because we feel it is our right to actually take our breaks, the...

    Yes a letter sized envelop
  4. CPNRE Sept 14, 2011

    Yes, a small envelop is a pass. A large one is a fail b/c it also holds info about what you need to improve on, and about rewritting....Good luck, and congrats to all who passed, and to those who were not successful this time, chin up, you will get i...
  5. CPNRE Sept 14, 2011

    The story of how I got my PASS!! My husband called me and told me that I had "a big white envelop" in the mail. I get in my car, still in my pj's, dry heaving the whole way there. (knowing that I failed, b/c of the big envelop) I get there, he hands...

    Got mine this morning at 830am....I PASSED!!!!
  7. CPNRE Sept 14, 2011

    I called the CNO and they said that WE will receive the results. If it is a fail, then we get the result, it is our responsibilty to let our employer know that we failed. Then they said that they will send our employer a letter telling them that our ...

    When people post that they got their results, do you mind saying where you are from...Please!!
  9. CPNRE Sept 14, 2011

    My husband works at the post office and he just called me and said I had something from the CNO in the mail (a big envelope). I get in the car, race up there, my heart in my stomach, he hands it to me, and I smack him! It was just a magazine from the...
  10. Screwed or not?

    I find it insulting that you say "nurses and LPNs", last I checked, RPNs and LPNs are nurses as well
  11. Oh, those ingrained abbreviations....

    I was in the Tim Horton's drive thru and I looked at my side mirror to see the vehicle behind me. It was a huge Dodge Ram, but what I read on the side of the truck was MAR...How sad is that?!!
  12. I work at a LTC facility. One side is Retirement Living the other side is Nursing Home. Most of the time I am on NH side and it is 65 high need residents with 2 RPN's a charge RN and 4 PSW's. On the RL side there are 31 residents, 1 RPN and 1 PSW. I ...
  13. CPNRE Sept 14, 2011

    Results could be in our hands in one week!! I am scarred ******... I honestly think I failed, but I guess everyone thinks that way after writing. I hope I pass, and the thing that sucks the most, is my husband works in the post office, sorting mail. ...
  14. Graduation...Go or No?

    Is going to graduation worth it? Yes I understand it was a struggle getting here, but hear me out. The thing that really bugs me is that graduation is a week before I actually get the results from my CPNRE. If it was a week after the fact, I would be...
  15. Salary for clinic position?

    Near Windsor ON. RPN's start at $22.63. I always thought our wages sucked, until joining AL. Maybe I should be more thankful.
  16. What does your hospital do for halloween?

    We are throwing a Halloween party, and are having a costume contest for the residents. Decorations everywhere, and the staff is going as The Chipettes. I can't wait, I'm so excited!
  17. Salary for clinic position?

    RN's in my LTC facility start at $40.43 an hour. At the walk in clinic's they start at $33.87 an hour and that's without running two facilities. Say NO!
  18. CPNRE Sept 14, 2011

    It's on the CNO website and the papers they sent you before you wrote. I know in past years it was a bell curve.
  19. CPNRE Sept 14, 2011

    The exam is not based on a bell curve anymore. The folks that make the exam pick the percentage you are to have to pass before we ever write. God only knows if that percentage is 30% or 90%. I'm hoping its around 70%.
  20. CPNRE Sept 14, 2011

    I wrote in Windsor
  21. Difficulties Defining Scope of Practice

    I'm an RPN in Ontario and we hang blood. It's just new since 2010, but times are changing!
  22. CPNRE Sept 14, 2011

    I just wrote today. I am on the honour role, but I found the exam difficult. I honestly do not know how I did. I am totally freaking out. I hope to God I pass or both of my jobs will be ripped from me. How do you guys feel about the exam?
  23. I was just curious about the Predictor Test and if it was actually accurate predicting your outcome with the CPNRE. If you received a score of 90-95% on the predictor test, did you actually pass? Or if you received a 30-35% on the predictor test, did...
