Canadian Registered Nurse Examination (CRNE)


As part of the process for becoming a Registered Nurse in Canada, an applicant must first successfully complete the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination (CRNE). This national examination measures the competencies required of nurses at the beginning of their practice.
The Canadian Nurses Association develops and maintains the CRNE through its testing company, Assessment Strategies Inc., and in collaboration with provincial and territorial regulatory authorities, which administer the exam within their jurisdictions and determine writing eligibility.
The CRNE includes approximately 200 multiple choice questions and takes approximately four hours.
