1. Feeling so lost in my career

   Superlost1984 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi everyone, Thought I'd bare it all here because I feel like I've reached the end of my tether and I feel hopelessly lost in my career. I do hope you won't judge me. I have been a nomadic nurse for 13 years now. By nomadic I mean I have not stayed ...

3. Lies of the ER.....

   Superlost1984 replied to Cari Turner21's topic in Humor

   I wouldn't really try to call them lies but self preservation mechanisms. Some people come to the ER with all sorts of stories to cover up the true yet embarrassing circumstances by which the events occurred. What they need is privacy and sense of tr...

   Superlost1984 replied to charmzele's topic in Canada

   Honestly, I always feel like backing out everytime I read your response. That means that I am not taking your responses for granted. The last thing I wanna do is be stubborn when someone who has far more experience than I would speak about the realit...

   I take it I'd have to look for an employer first, right? But without a PR I doubt it would be easy for me.

6. IENs wanting to work in Quebec

   Superlost1984 replied to charmzele's topic in Canada

   @janfrn: I also don't think and expect to get my PR visa from my consultancy but from whatever council or legal office assigned for that purpose. I am aware that consultancy or agency only offers assistance when it comes to processing. How do we obt...

   Superlost1984 replied to charmzele's topic in Canada

   My consultancy will (that's what they promised). But surely, I will not be passive when it comes to the processing. I will have to try my best to be hands-on with everything. As promised, they will find a school for us to assure that we land in a sch...

   Hi miasat, Our entry is either as student or tourist depending on the assessment of OIIQ. According to our consultancy, we would have to undergo this so called SPECIAL INTEGRATION PROGRAM where we undergo either a 5-month study OR 40-day training. Ou...

   Superlost1984 replied to charmzele's topic in Canada

   does this apply even to non-Canadian nurses? I am from the Philippines and have only started my application with OIIQ just recently. I was informed that one needs to be a PR first, meaning, has passed both board ad french exam, to be able to move to ...

    Superlost1984 replied to charmzele's topic in Canada

    One thing isn't clear to me miasat. Did you take the french exam? Or did you not? And if you did not? How were you able to move to another province without a PR visa? According to what my source said which is a consultancy office, one needs to pass b...

    Superlost1984 replied to charmzele's topic in Canada

    Thank You, janfrn! At least I am informed now of the downsides. I did some surfing and came across hospitals in Montreal that do not necessarily require one to speak French. What can you say about that? Do you think I may land a job there? Lastly, a...

    Superlost1984 replied to charmzele's topic in Canada

    This is just a bit baffling. If Quebec does not welcome non-French speakers, how come OIIQ has already accommodated fellow Filipinos? Shouldn't they have refused these applications at the start?

13. A Foreign Grad Nurse in a Foreign Land

    Superlost1984 replied to tennessean777's topic in International

    I agree that, to an extent, most of us can speak and understand English, but proficiency is a different issue. It is so sad that performance of fellow Filipino nurses as well as their "professionalism" have been questioned and criticized based on th...

    Superlost1984 replied to charmzele's topic in Canada

    truly discouraging! But I appreciate the information you give me. Before I signed up for my agency, I had been trying hard to find forums like this to aid me in my research and since my agency had been promising that in a few month's time, I will be...
