Are you enjoying the nice warm summer weather. Does it feel like the CRNE is a long ways away? Well it's not that far around the corner. In fact, it is just over 60 days away. So it's definitely time to start thinking about how you are going to study for the CRNE whether you are winding up school or perhaps recently moved to Canada.
I'm sure many of you are dreading writing the four hour licensing exam and are not sure how to start studying, because after all there is a lot of information you're expected know. However, it is possible and necessary to study for this exam in order to be successful.
It is recommended that you have some sort of plan of attack. Take out a calendar and write in some dates that you want to have certain things reviewed by. Also slot in some study sessions, and write in the days that you are working or have other commitments so you can see what time left you really have left to study.
Next, suggestion is to maybe have a study timeline of topics that you need to get through. Remember to start with the areas you are weakest with first then move on to the topics that you are more familiar with. The sooner you start the better prepared you'll be. But also remember, not to pull all day marathon study sessions, especially this much before the exam or you'll burn out. Start with 2-3 hours and then you can increase it as time draws nearer.
Consider attending the PRIMED CRNE review workshops taking place in September in Vancouver, Calgary or Edmonton. This is a perfect way to review core nursing content while having the opportunity to practice over 200 CRNE style questions.
