According to the Canadian Nurses Association the “Canadian Registered Nurse Exam (CRNE) will consist solely of multiple-choice questions” (CNA) and this will start on February 2008 until February 2010. “There are about 300 questions on the exam”(CNA).
“Of the approximately 300 multiple-choice questions on the CRNE, about 40 per cent are presented as independent questions and 60 per cent are presented within cases. Case-based questions include a set of three to five questions associated with a brief health-care scenario. Independent questions contain the information necessary to answer the questions”(CNA).
The framework of the examination “was developed to identify and organize the competencies the CRNE should assess” (CNA).
