Another step for a Canadian Nurse!

Well today was my 7 hour Canadian Registered Nurses Exam at the Calgary University. This was another stage towards becoming a fully registered nurse in Canada. It was split into two 3 1/5 hour multiple choice exams with an hours break in between. Preparation for the exam consisted of me going through the hundreds of practice questions from the CRNE prep guide many times leading up to the exam day, but although I have been a nurse for almost five years I have still found elements of Canadian nursing that I have found difficult.

The fact the the exam was multiple choice makes it sound very easy but I can honestly say that I came away having no idea if I had passed or not. The wording of the questions is very particular and there always seemed to be a couple of answers the at first glance could be correct so I was having to really think about what they were asking from me.

Anyway even though it was multiple choice, for some reason, it takes 8-10 weeks for me to get my results through so its going to be a bit of a wait until I know If I have to start cramming for the next exam in February, (which has a new format of fully written!!!)

I'll keep you posted!
