Hello Everyone! I took the CRNE June 2014 and passed. In order to pass the exam, I took a CRNE refresher course for a month, studied intensively, took a month long break from work, studied my notes from Potter and perry, Crne prep guide, and prep guide from Nurses Education. In addition, I practiced answering multiple choice questions as well as their rationales. Thank you for all your guidance and support.

I received my result yesterday and I passed ... I'm from Toronto...

I am patiently waiting for the result... 5 more weeks to go...

I prefer Nurses Education Inc. over Toronto School of Health and they do have classes in toronto and mississauga. But before attending any prep courses, I suggest to read Potter and Perry textbook, CNA prep guide, Mosby, Lippincott CNA guide, and CNO documents pertaining nurse-client relationships, ethics, etc.

Thank you for responding. I am not sure about Ryerson but Ive been to Bloomberg (2 day course) and Toronto School of Health (1-2 month extensive course). I would like to try something new since Ive been to those two classes/courses. I am planning on taking 2 months (April and May) off from work so I can focus on studying, which is also why I want to take an extensive course. I want to find the best CRNE study course where it suits my time and needs. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Good day to all. I am planning to take my june 2014 CRNE exam and I would like to know if attending a comprehensive course review (eg. Toronto School of Health, Bloomberg CRNE review) is beneficial. I graduated two years ago but failed my CRNE twice. However, I took the NCLEX-RN exam last September and passed. I studied so hard for the NCLEX exam. I reviewed the Saunders book for two months, took Kaplan course, studied the La Charity book, and practiced at least 50 multiple choice questions a day. I was hoping that passing the NCLEX will boost my confidence but i am feeling more stressed and anxious because this will be my last attempt in taking the CRNE. I really wanted to pass so I also took a job in an agency and worked at least 24 hours a week as a nursing aide/personal support worker/constant care provider (sitter). Also, I choose to work in a hospital facility so I can gain experience. I need some advice on how to study better for the CRNE. I am constantly reviewing the notes that I had from my NCLEX exam but i know CRNE is different from NCLEX. I am also studying the Mosby and CRNE prep guide that I had two years ago. IN addition, I also wanted to know if anyone had taken the " THE CANADIAN NURSING CAREER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM" comprehensive course for CRNE and would like to provide some insights about the said program. Thank you for your time.

thank you so much

Good day to all! I would like to ask on how to obtain a RN license in Hawaii. I would like to relocate in Hawaii instead of working as an RN in New York. Thank You for your time.

Practice multiple choice questions since you still have a month long to study. Review your nursing content. Another option is you can go to a library borrow a book that has NCLEX multiple choice questions (Lippincott, Kaplan, Saunders, etc.)

I am a canadian citizen and I graduated here in Canada. Im sorry that I cannot help you with some of your questions. I can only explain the difference between Canadian RN exam and NCLEX. Since you are eligible to take NCLEX, why dont you give it a shot. As long as you study nursing contents and practice test taking strategies then you should be fine. In kaplan, they recommend to practice 150Q a day. Also, I learned that in order to pass you should be getting analysis and application in most of the questions which you will require to think critically.

Thank you :)

Also, i just checked BON NY and my license is officialy active! now my next step is to find a job...

PVT: From my experience, The PVT is accurate. This is actually my third attempt (75Q). With my first (210 Q) and second attempt (165 Q). When I tried to do the PVT (this was after my 1st and 2nd NCLEX exam) it went directly to the CC page. But this time, I got the good pop-up. 48 hours later, I did the quick result and it says "PASS". How i pass the NCLEX: As for my studying, I only used the Saunders comprehensive book and the other blue book (Saunders all Multiple Choice Questions). This didn't help me much since I am only studying basely on the content and I felt that I was not mastering enough any critical thinking skills. Before I took the exam the third time, I decided to take Kaplan and studied for two months, at least 3 hours a day. These are my results: Diagnostic- 63%, QT1-67% QT2-76% QT3-65% QT4-74% QT5-69% QT6-70% QT7-65% Readiness-63%. (Based on the result on my readiness exam the probability of passing is 96%). QBank (which I did 1300+Q, at least 100 Q a day)- 56%. For content I preferred the Saunders compared to Kaplan but for practicing NCLEX type of Questions, I prefer the questions from Kaplan. Also from my experience, the Decision Tree used in Kaplan was effective. I actually used it when I was answering the questions. For example, would I assess first or implement, the use of MASLOW or ABC, physical vs. psychosocial, clean vs. dirty, etc. But in order to master the Decision Tree I suggest being knowledgeable of the nursing content first. I also used La Charity book to practice answering prio and delegation questions. I recommend this book and it is very useful. Lastly, I'm a religious person and I believe in God. So every time a question pops out, I pray that I get it right. So if you fail the first time, second, third, or fourth and so on, don't be discourage and do not give up. With hard work and faith, I know you can do it!

From my experience, The PVT is accurate. I took the exam sept 24 and I just found out today that I pass based on the quick result.

I did the quick results (Sept 26) and it says ‘PASS”. From my experience, The PVT is accurate.
