I know that my co-students as well as myself all bought at least two separate study guides. American ones of course, and I know for myself I felt like I had to learn the material from scratch. They say that the Canadian and American entry level is 98% the same but I will tell you that our school is known for 100% pass rates on the CRNE and we've had a 25% fail rate and we are a small class with 1:1 instructor time. The rest of the universities in NB are not doing well. I passed but I still feel this is an unfair exam. And honestly I'm surprised that there hasn't been any class action lawsuits against CNA or universities about this sudden change and high fail rates. The nursing degree is one of the hardest degrees as per macleans and to finish and feel prepared and fail the nclex is devastating to people.

I agree however I think something should be done for these students who are essentially the "guinea pigs". In Canada we can write three times only than if you fail all 3 times your $60,000 + degree is useless.

There are a lot of differences. In my opinion. I haven't written the old CRNE however my training of my first three years in my nursing degree was to prepare me for that exam and what I wrote was maybe 35 to 40% of my degree. I was lucky enough to pass but a lot are not and I'm wanting to advocate for them. I was a clerk at the hospital for the last 9 years and foe example pharmacology I'd one of my strong points because of that job. Well I had never heard of at least 70% of the medications on my NCLEX exam. ECG reading is an advanced skill here in Canada and I had multiple ECG strips on my exam as well. A lot of differences

The nclex started in January of this year for all Canadian students. Unfortunately the university's or most were not up to par with there curriculum for this different exam and I know in eastern Canada people are not doing great. I have been trying to find out stats on this, as well as what associations are going to do about it if anything. Unfortunately I can't seem to find anything on it. The link prior up gives stats on the American side and the. International is bulked together.

My school has actually been doing better than the rest. I know in eastern Canada the fail rate has been quite high. Most provinces have now changed thier regulations to allow GN's to continue to nurse if they fail the first time which is new this year. Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.

I passed at 265. I was 100% sure I failed walking out of there but it will all depend where you end up above or below the line. The system could not with 95% confidence tell if you were competent or not. And I've heard that getting the SATA is a farce on whether you are doing well or not. Try to relax until your results are in. I know it is easier said that done. Good luck.

I was lucky enough myself to pass the canadian nclex 2015 but a lot of my co-students have not. I have been trying to get information on what is going to be done about it, if anything and there does not seem to be anyone talking about it online. I have family members that I graduated with that have not been successful and out of the 50ish new graduates the hospital I work at approximately 50% have failed. Prior to the Canadian NCLEX this is unheard of. Anyone know if anything is being done about this?
