Phil RN's as LPN

I see your point but you know what? This was there last day at our school and discussed there situation. They are RN's in the PHIL. Yes that's a fact. But there education is not enough to be as a RN in Canada. Sure there great nurses, but they don't the education to be a RN in Canada. RN in Canada is more complex and its ever changing up here. anyways back to these recruitments. they never wrote the NClEX exam. They just had to take some sort of testing and screening but NOT a NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-PN .They said they been recruited by Captial Health by agency to work and fill the void in the region and not to be used to use Canada as a stepping stone to the states. Some have been recruited to Saskatchewan as well. This is why they got them here so they could fill the shortages that's is what they said if you don't believe me come here to my school and talk to them for yourself sorry for sounding mean but this is the fact

I really don't believe you! and it doesn't make sense at all. Guess what i'm Filipino too.If they passed their NCLEX why would they even come here? They should have wrote the CRNE then which they don't qualify. Name the person you talked to. I just talked to them the last few days. Are you sure you have spoken to the people who just went to my school? are you sure they went to alberta? because you are not making any sense at all. msg me your contact. You are saying its complex there? maybe it is but coming here is more complex. Nursing here isnt about your skills only, its more than that. If you say its complex there then let see how'd they do if they wrote the CRNE. Sorry but true. My mom works at royal alex as a RN with a MSN and hearing from capital health they are only here to fill the voids not to go to the states

With consideration for the health human

resource shortage in Alberta, and the

Vision of the CLPNA, the College has
embarked on a pilot project with Capital
Health and NorQuest College to recruit
Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs)
from the Philippines. A comparison of
their curriculum with the Alberta LPN
curriculum reveals a high degree of comparability.
Minimal remedial learning is
necessary, and will be provided on line by
NorQuest College prior to the IENs
arrival in Alberta. Clinical testing will
then be conducted and the nurses will
complete a preceptor led clinical at various
Capital Health sites. These efforts are
intended to assist with successful transitioning
of the IEN to the role of the LPN
in Alberta. Recruitment of IENs is viewed
as one of several strategies necessary to
address the nursing shortage in Alberta,
and the CLPNA believes this initiative has
potential to significantly benefit the health

care system within our province.

Upon completion of the program, you will be prepared to write a national Practical Nurse examination to obtain a licence to practise nursing in Alberta.
