All authority to take the CRNE and become registered is given by your nursing regulatory authority. Please note that the exam may not be offered on all of the dates above in your province or territory. Deadlines for applying to take the CRNE are usually well in advance of the exam dates.
Contact your regulatory authority for more information. If you are a student graduating from a Canadian nursing education program, your program should show you how to apply to write the CRNE and become licensed in your province or territory.
