I already visited the CRNM website but I couldn't find answers to my concerns. Please explain to me the things that I have to do to enlighten me. Thanks in advance.
Hello Lillylily,
As an IEN and intend to work in Manitoba, I also applied for registration in CRNM and it took 2 months processing,( my requirements were sent thru courier which is faster).I am also a second courser, and I did not encounter any problem..remember they base their assessment thru your transcripts, so it is case to case basis.
Two of the requirements are verification of practice hours and documentation of registered nursing experience and practice.
check this site:
http://www.crnm.mb.ca/applicants-int...quirements.php
What i know is that it should be a paid experience. but it is no harm asking and trying ,so try to vist their website:
http://www.crnm.mb.ca/
at the lower left of the webiste, there is a box with a picture of pretty lady, you can actually talk to them online (chat) ,11pm to past midnight Philippine time.. if you have further inquiries, the staff are very helpful.
Goodluck,
Mcgyver
