Sis san ka bound?

[RDQ]

Hello! Am a nurse myself working on getting my license here in Canada and same time sponsoring my hubby from Philippines. Allnurses.com re:international nursing is a must check-out to get some ideas on how to apply for canadian nursing licensure. Also, every province has it's own licensing body kaya dapat check it out too. SRNA (Saskatchewan) and CARNA  (Alberta) just to name a few. There's a lot of infos frome their websites that we IENs (internationally educated nurses) can use. Assessment for IENs takes a long time, i meant a loooonnng time, kaya even if you guys are still in Philippines or wherever, start getting your papers assessed na. Then waiting time won't be too long once landed in Canada. English exams: you can do IELTS or CELBAN ( there are other options too, just can't remember all of it). Although CELBAN is only offered in Canada, however it's far easier than IELTS in my opinion and it relates to our profession (nurse).Hope it helps.

thanks sis...if okay na lahat papers ko, mag submit na ako sa SRNA. If matagalan process nila, k lang yun...di pa naman ako ready to take CRNE. hehehe. Inaalala ko lang, wala talaga ako hospital experience kasi, pag katapos ko mag IVT, nag asawa agad ako. hehe. Then nag review sa NCLEX, pero di pa ako kumuha ng exam. Then ang negosyo...etc. Ayaw kasi ng asawa ko mag trabaho ako kasi gusto nya, every morning (phil time) mag usap kami sa skype. Wait ko nalang daw visa ko at lubusin ko nalang trabaho sa Canada kung gusto ko mag work. Paano yun sis??? sa SRNA, okay lang kung walang working experience kasi okay naman daw ang no. of hours noong nag duty tayo ng students pa tayo. Pero, papano ang employment? What if pumasa ako sa CRNE (sakali lang, hehe)...pwede ako mag nurse agad, kahit "no how" talaga ako sa ospital? Ay nako, papano ba yan. Feeling ko kasi, baka next month mag ka visa na ako (feeling lang, sana Lord). So, parang di na rin advisable mag volunteer nurse pa ako dito (actually tamad ako mag volunteer...parang di kasi nakakamotivate mag work pag wala sweldo, haha).

saskatoon, saskatchewan ako sis hehe. Ikaw?

 @ pinaynurse : Edm berta ako sis. Im guessing we differ in the prepartion as IEN, musta ang rqmnts ng saskatoon sa IELTS?

 @ RDQ thank u for the info. Yes, that is what my husband told me he even gave me an example abt the celban.. Not that im confident but at least celban really just talks abt whatever we studied in nursing, unlike in IELTS its aything under the sun. I hope i can pass the ielts soon so i can work on the preparation for carna,so when we land we'll just gonna have to wait few mos.

sa saskatoon, 7.5-8 ang listening...the rest, 6.5-7...pwede...overall score, 7....pero if you come to think about it, parang, 7 in all, except listening which is 7.5 or 8. SOBRANG TAAS. Tapos, sabihin nila, in demand ang nurses doon, pero sobrang taas naman ng requirements nila. Hay nako. sa inyo jan sis?

hi just like to share pero not sure if pareho ang SRNA sa CNO dito sa ontario.. pareho tayo wala din ako working experience nung pina assess namin papers ko pero nag volunteer ako nito lang Jan 2011 ako nag ka trabaho pero 8 months lang hanggang august kasi sept lumipad na ako papunta dito sa canada... kaya RPN lang inapplyan namin for assessment pero based sa mga nakausap ko if may masters degree ka and working experience pwedeng ma qualify sa RN, medyo mas expensive nga lang ang assessment.. pero if wala try pa din wala naman mawawala..

dito din kasi sa ontario once you passed the exam pwede ka na mag ka trabaho unless yung mga needed doc na hinihingi especially verification of registration na ipapadala ng PRC sa liscencing body sa canada they wont give you your liscence then if completed na dub ka lang nila i register..

my application/assessment took almost 1 year pero pina asess na kasi namin nung nanyan palang kasi ako sa pinas kaya on time lang nung landed na ako
