Help!RN from the Philippines now a Permanent Resident in Ontario

[pickles27]

Hi everybody!!

I ve been reading this forum for a while, searching the different threads but I havent found any that directly answer my inquiry.

lets start with a story: Im a nurse in the Phillipines,batch 2006, graduate of a state university and worked as a clinical instructor for a year. Came here last Nov, and submitted my papers to CNO for the assessment. Now, I am waiting for the result of the assessment. I ve been a housewife since I arrived and no idea if I will be a nurse here or not.

I worked as a part timer this Xmas season in an organization, Salvation Army after my 3 weeks stay.. I was lucky to have a job quickly and after the season,I have no job which I m not having used to. Im trying to find a job in line with my profession, caregiver, nanny etc..

so the questions are here:

1. How long will the assessment take place?

2. What other jobs besides caregiving/nanny could I apply since Im not registered here?

3. are there members of this forum that has a similar case with me? I really need some inputs and some what to talk to..( talking about comfort and re assurance)

Thanks to all of you! Godbless!

What you need to remember about assessments for IENs is that the Colleges of Nursing have no control over how long OTHER agencies take to return the paperwork required of them. If the school you attended is poorly organized, for example, it may take them several weeks (or more) to find all the information they need to include on the documents they've received from the College. Or if any of the regulatory bodies that have registered you through the years is changing from paper-based record-keeping to computer databases, it may take them a very long time to find all the data needed for your documentation. It's not really fair to lay all of the blame for lengthy processing times on the Colleges.

Hi! It's me after long time. I finally got my agreement to take RPN exam. I plan to take it on September this year, because my time of safety practice expires April 2013 so I am in rush. I hope I pass. What about you?
