Eliminate the guesswork with a simpler, less stressful way to prepare
Here’s the thing. The CPNRE® is the most dreaded obstacle to becoming a practical nurse in Canada. The most challenging part of the CPNRE® begins long before sitting down to write it.
Ask someone who’s written the CPNRE® before and they’ll agree: preparing is the hardest part.
Prepping for - and writing - the CPNRE® can be frustrating, confusing and more stressful than it should be. What can a smart practical nursing student do?
