3152 Registered Nurse category

[CarribRN]

Still in KSA, but on June 6 we will be going home to the Philippines and on June 26 we will fly to Canada via VAncouver. I made my own little research, and I have learned that nursing license in one province is not automatically recognized in another province but it is endorsable. Certain process will be undertaken. When i took CRNE in Winnipeg, I was given the chance to be interviewed in one of the hospitals there and with God's grace i was hired. In my opinion, if you are a Canadian RN in a not so immigrant destined province, chances of getting hospital work is higher than in Toronto and Vacncouver. Hope to see you in Canada? REgards.

Yes, it is not automatically recognized as there is an application process. But by this I assumed they were referring to the fact that nurses (Canadian and IEN) cannot just outright practice in any province where they would like to work as screening needs to be done first to know if the applicant has records that would prohibit them to practice nursing in the receiving province. It does not directly pertain to IEN's which is a good thing. Once considered a Canadian applicant (refer to the requirements needed for a Canadian to endorse their license to another province), it means you no longer have to go through the harrowing process of submitting all of your credentials (except for the PRC verification) from overseas all over again for yet another assessment, but you only have to provide the details of your license from another province and your country of origin (in the case of Alberta) and your work experience. Below is part of the response I received via email from CRNM and CARNA:

CRNM:

"If you are currently registered as an RN in Canada, then you are considered to be a Canadian applicant to our College.
The requirements for applying as a Canadian applicant are available on the College’s website available via this link:
http://www.crnm.mb.ca/applicants-canadian.php"

CARNA:

"You will need to download the Canadian application off of our website www.nurses.ab.ca
Click on 'Applicants' and then 'Canadian Applicants'
A verification will need to be received from both Ontarion College of Nurses and the Philippine nurse registering body. Request forms will be found in your application package."


If you visit those links, you will notice that both Colleges are no longer asking for the school records which is a good news for Filipinos since that is the area where we often falter. As for the PRC verification, I reckon nobody will have a problem with that.

Aspire, goodluck. Hope to see you in Canada. It is true what you said about the job opportunities in provinces that are not so frequented by immigrants, but I am really hoping to find one in GTA area in Ontario as my lifestyle best fits that place. But worse comes to worst, other provinces will do at least for the first year. I have Canadian co-workers who went back to Canada now and are willing to help us find a job so we are really keeping our fingers crossed.

First you have to read the link below:

https://www.crnbc.ca/Registration/RNApplication/InternationalEN/Documents/FormIntl.pdf

Actually I have never read this website as i took my nursing registration from the province of Manitoba. First research to do if your nursing degree in your home country has the equivalence to the nursing degree standards in Canada. It requires a lot of reading and a lot of consultations to people who had the experience in getting registration into the same province where you will be applying. Take note that each Canadian province has its own nursing regulating body with unique ways, standards and requirements for registration.
Happy reading!

Hi people!I am just new here in this forum. Ü I would just like to ask something about the SEC assessment in AB. I just had mine this April. Usually CARNA are releasing the result within 4-6 weeks. I am jusy worried because it is my 6th week already this week and U haven't heard anything from them yet. Do they fail their applicants?I am just really worried becase the other applicant received her result last week.
