Assessment of nursing degree from the Philippines

I believe it is only in Alberta where the BSN degree in the Philippines is equivalent to an LPN program. Still, each regulatory body from province to province varies.

Let us wait for the moderators to comment on this.

hmm,,this is an interesting one! although it varies from one person to another and from province to province, can you(Filipino nurses in Canada or those who already have their eligibility) tell us your situation?

thanks..

Each province will do their own assessment of your transcripts and make that decision. Most I believe still require to do a bridging course.

Each set of transcripts is evaluated by the specific courses that are contained in it and not all BSN programs in the Philippines contain all of the courses that are required.

There are programs there that are not accepted in the US, even by CA.

What happened with one person is no guarantee that it will happen with your transcripts. Each province has the right to determine what they will give credit for or not.

Those that are in Alberta and the LPN that you are speaking of is based on them not taking the licensing exam and only a pilot program. If they meet the requirements for RN licensure and then pass the exam, and complete the other requirements, they are then issued the RN license.

You can not complete the forms it has to be done by the school of nursing. Each province will make their own assessment on what they receive from the school of nursing

There is no way any of the people who post here would know what is accepted or not accepted, it's completely individually assessed. As well, none of us here are responsible for assessing the credentials of others for this purpose. On top of that, each province sets their own criteria and are willing to accept different things from different people. There is no template that any of us could apply to your sister's transcripts... even if we understood why YOU are handling it and not her.
