2. How to become a Registered nurse in Canada?

8. Is it possible to be registered in British Columbia as an LPN and RN at the same time

   RN_Canada replied to uk.nurse's topic in Canada

   You can have a dual license...however, you can never give up your obligation to work according to professional standards. So with dual license if you work as an LPN, you get paid as a LPN and you do LPN work within their legislated scope of practice,...

    RN_Canada replied to superveronica's topic in Registration

    what does the economy have to do with it? there should be no influence on the licensing of nurses other than making sure they meet requirements that are in place for public protection. labour forces should not be an influence on obtaining a nursing l...

15. BC RN wanting to practice in AB

    RN_Canada replied to iheartcanucks2012's topic in Canada
