Re: Philippine Nurse going to Canada
May I gently remind members that it is poor Netiquette to type your entire post in capital letters? It is considered to be shouting, and conveys anger or disgust. By all means use capitals to emphasize a point, but please, not the whole post.
Standards for nursing education in Canada have evolved in response to changes in society, the acuity level of patients in hospital and to health care in general. They are intended to protect both the public and the nurse and therefore cannot be compromised. They are what they are, which is why each IEN has his or her nursing education assessed and any shortfalls identified so they may be corrected before the nurse will be eligible for licensure in Canada. If you are unwilling or unable to go through the process, that's up to you, but please don't blame Canada.
