Good for you Scout!! Hanga ako sa mga pinoy na kagaya mo..it is difficult to start here pero magpursige lang dahil kaya naman natin makuha yung gusto natin, tiyaga lang..specialized (icu) nurse ako sa pinas and overseas from almost 8 years before migrating, started sa retail (Target) then nag...

If you plan to go to BC, You have to do a certificate course then register yourself inorder to work as a care aide.. you cannot work at hospitals since they want those who took the acute care aide course. Even if you were a nurse, they won't hire you without the courses.. sushicat29

It is quite a roller coaster ride.. I was lucky that I processed both lpn and rn so I got to take the lpn exam.. I did not stop there since after passing the lpn exam, no one still wants to hire me with 7 years of specialized (icu) nursing experience. So, I volunteered at our local hospital at...

Hi, You are right..it takes 2 years or more to be an RN here. I did not go thru NNAS but timeline is also the same. I will honestly tell you that employers (health authority) would prefer new grads in Canada oppose to those who has years of experience who did not practice for years. It is not...

im still using my maiden name, same thing I did not change my passport and other documents before I applied and landed here. Better call cic regarding your concern, you have to change your passport since that's your ID and everything has to match with that.

Inform NNAS about this situation. Do you have any other documentation in your possession (contracts, employment certificate, etc.) that can validate that you indeed worked there. Tell NNAS what additional documentations you have. They will still decide as to how to go from there. If NNAS refused...

Hi... I did not go thru NNAS so I won't be able to compare my experience to everyone here, however I might be able to provide some information about the assessment here in BC only (other provinces have a different process). As to my understanding, since an applicant already sent the initial...

LPns administers SC and IM medications. If you work at acute care (hospital) we are trained to change IV fludis. No IV medications though.

Hi Kristina, I am an IEN from the Philippines with current registration as an LPN from CLPNBC and ongoing registration from CRNBC. Goodluck!!

Finish your nursing degree here in Canada.. Goodluck..

Hello, Please check this link..http://www.clpnnl.ca/attachments/changes.pdf and try to contact them to ask about your english requirement and also I think you could get better information by calling or email NNAS support regarding your concern since every province has different requirements...

Evidence of English Proficiency ( IELTS, CELBAN) is a requirement if the mode of instruction of your education is not English or if your country's 1st language is not English. What I believe is that in Ontario, this requirement is still needed but unlike other provinces you do not need to submit...

I would suggest that you finish your nursing degree here. Apply to schools and ask them to assess your educational credentials if you can transfer some of your units here. If you finish your nursing degree in the Philippines, you will be considered an internationally educated nurse and...

Hello Everyone, I feel your frustrations. It is sad that it is just to long to process our registration as an RN here. However, I understand that since we are a country of immigrants and we have a lot of different nursing backgrounds, they just wanted to make sure we all have the same level...
