Hi Perry and Potter - Nursing Fundamentals 4th edition Mosby - Comprehensive review for CRNE Community Health Nursing in Canada - Stanhope CNA - on line CRNE prep tests (100 questions) Do lots of CRNE questions , NCLEX not the same Do not use "nurse2canada" - useless Usually on facebook...

The assessment procedure is what CNO does to see if your education and work experience meet the Canadian BSCN. Just make sure you send all documents they request and if your have extra certificates or awards you have received since you became an RN in your country include them too, they can only...

Hi I have not heard of this group, be careful make sure it is not NCLEX based as many are. I did the CRNE yesterday and it was tough, very community orientated as that is the way health care is going in Canada. So study Canadian books as these are what the CRNE questions are based on. I did the...

Hi Sorry for late reply I don't log in very often. I started my application process in Oct 2010, they confirmed my file was complete May 2011 and was waiting assessment. I got a positive assessment result 24 Feb 2012. So 6 months to gather paperwork for complete file to be assessed and 9 months...

Hi Guys Yes I arrived in Ontario Sept 2011, I managed to get temporary parttime employment in retail for 3 months after arrival. Currently I am not working and studying hard for my boards June 6th 2012. I decided to do it this way as I want to try and make sure I don't fail, otherwise it is...

Hi Guys Just a quick update, I am a diploma nurse and I just received my eligibility to sit the CRNE in Ontario, so CNO do accept nurses with diplomas, it all really depends on your work experience. It took CNO 10 months from the time they had received all my documents to complete the asessment...

Hi Most things in Ontario are regulated, so not a lot of options in medical, unless you can get a job as a receptionist in a medical clinic/hospital. I was just lucky I got the job in retail, most places want experience. Try volunteering for Red Cross or St John Ambulance as first responder. It...

Hi CNA is the Canadian Nurse Association - CRNE review, you buy it on line at their website. It is questions and rationales, expensive at $80+. Keep your fingers crossed I get my results soon. Olga

Hi Congrats on finally getting your assessment results. Can you fill me in on your nursing background. Are you a BSN or diploma? Did you have to do a BET? Do you have to do extra courses etc. Where are you planning to live? I bought the CNA 5th edition and Mosby CRNE review, which is great...

Hi I am still waiting on my asessesment results, unfortunately the process once they have your completed file is 8 months unless you have a 4 years BSCN from a school/country they recognise, otherwise it is up to 8 months for the results of the assessment. I sent my resume to one of the local...

Hi Tina I landed in Toronto in Sept 2011, I moved to London an hour+ south west of Toronto. They have three great hospitals here. I still don't have the results of my assessment but expect then any day. I also am a midwife so hoping with this and my 25 years full time experience, i will not need...

Hi No I am still waiting on the assessment. I was told that currently they are working on April/May 2011, so hoping to have result by the end of Jan 2012 !!! and you? Olga

Thanks

Hi Congratulations, may I ask when you applied and how long the process took, this would really help me. My understanding is that the assessment is good for 1 year, ie you need to sit the CRNE within 1 year of your eligibility to sit exam. olga

Hi all I just got an e-mail from CNO stating that the CNO assessors are currently working on completed files sent September 2010. I started my CNO assessment Nov 2010, it took until May 2011 to collect documents and do BET, so my completed file went into queue for assessment May 2011. Based on...
