Applications will remain valid for one year from the date of the last contact by the applicant. Last contact shall be defined as the provision of documentation/information to support the application process. Regulations and entry requirements are subject to bylaw and policy changes.

Once we receive all requirements and your application is approved, you will be eligible for a graduate nurse licence. If you will not be working in Saskatchewan before you pass the CRNE, you do not need to apply for a GN licence.

  • LeaRN Readiness Test

CNA has released a second version of the CRNE Readiness Test to give candidates an additional opportunity to prepare for the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination (CRNE). Both versions are online and complement the CRNE Prep Guide, as well as other resources used to prepare for the exam.

Each Readiness Test offers candidates 100 multiple-choice questions that match the difficulty and format of the actual CRNE. The questions are drawn from previous exams but are different from those in the CRNE Prep Guide. Candidates who take the Readiness Test receive their overall score, correct answers with rationales and references, as well as a performance profile showing their strengths and weaknesses based on the CRNE competencies.
