Nurses across Canada are talking about a new computerized adaptive Registered Nursing entry exam.

The Canadian Registered Nurse Examination (CRNE) is the way a registered nurse is assessed and determined qualified to practice in Canadian health care. The proposed changes would only impact those looking to be initially registered with the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba  as a registered nurse, not nurses who are currently practicing.
