Hello everyone! I am on of the first New Graduates to take the NCLEX in Canada. The NCLEX replaced our existing national boards (CRNE) as of January 5th, 2015. Today was my test date and I have a few questions and tips for everyone. Since this te...

Thank you very much. I hope this blog brings some insight for future NCLEX candidates

Hello everyone! I am on of the first New Graduates to take the NCLEX in Canada. The NCLEX replaced our existing national boards (CRNE) as of January 5th, 2015. I took my exam yesterday, January 6th, and I have a few questions and tips for everyone. S...

I got news from CRNBC this morning. I've passed!!!!! I am thankful that this process went smoothly and that I got my results soon.

I received an email from CRNBC today! I'VE PASSED. I am so thankful at this moment

Hello everyone, Sorry for the late response but I just wanted to update you on this blog. After hearing your advice, I decided to go on 2 more interviews. It turns out that by doing so, I was more confident about taking the position from my 1st inte...

Recently I had my first RN interview on a Med/Surg unit at large urban hospital. After a nerve racking session of gruelling questions, the manager had suggested that they would give me an opportunity to work on their unit but wasn't able to officiall...

Well I learned yesterday that an error was made during my registration at the Pearson Vue testing centre. The staff informed me that they were unsure how to use my American Passport for a Canadian NCLEX and as a result inaccurately registered my iden...

I found using the study guides to be beneficial because it organized everything that I needed to know for the exam in 1 text. It saves a lot of time! If I needed to clarify or review something I didn't understand, I would go back to the texts

Kaplan was an online course. You can either do it on demand or attend a live class. It all depends on your learning style. I felt the live classroom was good for me because it gave me a chance to ask questions and to clarify a few things I may not ha...

When I took the exam I found that information such as lab values were offered in both SI and American values. During my Kaplan Prep course, there were some American Law content. The delegation aspect is primarily the same in Canada, with a few differ...

Congratulations. I am still waiting for mine.

Just your ID. They give you a locker where you can leave a snack and your jacket. They'll require you to leave your phone inside a sealed plastic bag. If you don't need your phone, theres no need to bring it

Kaplan Prep. 3 months. If you want to know more, its listed in my post

I thought the same thing myself. One of the reasons why I opted not to take the CRNE in October was because it was my impression that the NCLEX results were faster. After completing my exam, Pearson Vue sent me an email regarding the result process ...

Nurses now come in many different ages, genders, and races. I'm actually male and not as young (30).

I graduated from a Canadian Institution in September 2014. I am a permanent resident in Canada who is a Canadian trained BScN

No one else so far who has done the PVT in Canada

You are right. I should probably just enjoy the fact that I completed the exam and give myself some breathing room. I'll just cause more grief and worry if I start to over analyze this scenario. I'll worry about it if and when the time comes. Patienc...

Hmm I wonder why mine is different. Does everyone else you know have the same message as you?

4-6 weeks was what I was informed. I learned about a "trick" to determine passing the NCLEX exam prior to the wait. Not sure if this really applies in my situation though

If I am understanding right, the message I received is implying that there is an issue or concern with my exam? I am unclear regarding the palm vein scan. If there's an issue on how my palm was scanned they can hold my results? Should I be concerned?...

I can totally relate to how you are feeling. I graduated from a BScN program in Vancouver back in September 2014. It took me 3 months to find a job. I suggest you find out who the managers are from every clinical you've ever done. Applying online ma...

I tried to register again for the NCLEX this afternoon and this was the message I got "The candidate currently has test results that are on hold. A new registration cannot be created at this time." Was this similar to yours?

Thanks for the tip! I just took the exam this afternoon and will probably have to wait until tomorrow or friday. When I clicked the quick results link, it mentions that its not available in Canada. I'm glad theres a way to get around it from our end.
