Re-entry program at Kwantlen University

by GIA373

Hi guys!

Is there anyone here who has taken the IEN Re-entry program at Kwantlen Polytechnic Uni.? Or do you know of anyone who has taken it or is currently enrolled? I'm considering of taking this course and I am desperate to know other people's experience and opinion about this course.. Please shed some light here...

Thanks...

Hi, has anyone replied to you re your inquiries? Just wondering , have you taken your SEC assessment already? Coz maybe if after the SEC assessment, CRNBC thinks you don't need the re-entry program, then maybe you don't have to, right? Can you expound more on your background? Any work experience before but stopped? Or took up nursing education long ago?

Hi!
I have some international nurses doing the IEN with kwantlen university and coming for their praticum at the hospital where I work.Go to their website and go to international nurses and contact them.they are really helpful.I just got through my RN exam this june .Even if CRNBC says you dont have to do that programme it will help you to know the health care system here.I had enrolled for the programme but was lucky to get a job before I started.let me know if you want to know anything else.

My papers are still being assessed by the crnbc and I'm hoping to take the SEC before this year ends. The reason why I'm looking into option of taking the re-enrty program is because I have no work experience since I graduated two years ago. Based on what I read from the website of Kwantlen about their re-entry program it really sounds convincing.

Thanks Cruzanita! I'm still deciding whether I should go through the whole 1 year program or not. There are just some things that I'm taking in consideration right now (e.g finances, lenghty time, etc) . Also, I am curious if how successful will the students be in securing an employment after taking the program? I have read an article about the program and it's somehow negative although it could be an isolated case. I am interested to hear about the experiences of those who have taken or who are still currently into the Re-entry program.

Congratulations by the way for being a successful Canadian RN!
