1. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

   tkhun replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   The trick definitely works. I thought it would not work for me because I wrote the exam in Vancouver Canada and therefore didn't register for the exam online. But it worked for me. Wrote exam on Monday Sep 14, tried the trick 30mins after exam (selec...

2. UBC's 2 yr Program or BCIT's 3 yr Program

   tkhun replied to Hamster84's topic in International

   H-Dog, I wouldn't worry too much about your previous degree if I were you. I think UBC does not specify previous degree in Sciences because they understand that as long as you have gone through some form of university training you are capable of taki...

3. UBC's 2 yr Program or BCIT's 3 yr Program

   tkhun replied to Hamster84's topic in International

   Go for the UBC program. The program is quite intense but I liked it that way because it made the months fly. Before you know it, you'll be done and graduating. As for clinical experience, my personal experience is that UBC students tend to do more th...

4. Canadian nurse wanting to work in Arizona in the future

   tkhun replied to tkhun's topic in International

   Thank you for your response. I would not be going for the TN1 visa or any visa at the moment because we have not even made a final decision on whether to go to the States or not. I just want to get the NCLEX so that if we ever decide to move to the U...

5. Canadian nurse wanting to work in Arizona in the future

   tkhun posted a topic in International

   I would like to work in Arizona sometime in the foreseeable future (my husband and I own a house in Phoenix) and would like to write the NCLEX-RN now so that I am partly prepared when we eventually decide to make the move. The Arizona BON emailed me ...

6. need help with this crne exam!

   tkhun replied to sheraz86's topic in International

   Here are a few tips that may help you: 1. Study techniques on taking multiple choice questions until you are very comfortable with the best way to take multiple choice tests. I used techniques outlined in an NCLEX Kaplan text. If you know how to succ...

7. CRNE exam OCTOBER 8, 2008

   tkhun replied to suzanne4's topic in CRNE

   The BC results are in. I just got mine - I passed. Yeah!!! Now I don't have to put (Temp) after RN when signing in at work. Good luck to everyone else still waiting for their results. And thank you to everyone who contributed to this thread - it kept...

8. Which way should I go??

   tkhun replied to Stray dog's topic in International

   No, it's not hard to get 70% (70% is actually quite low); and Yes, there are a lot of ESNs in hospitals. The nice thing about being an ESN is that you are not counted as staff, you are extranumerary meaning you help out but are not counted as workloa...

9. Which way should I go??

   tkhun replied to Stray dog's topic in International

   ESNs were previously called UGNs (Undergraduate Student Nurse). You can get more information about them from here: http://www.vch.ca/careers/partnership/employment.html or here http://www.viha.ca/ppo/strategy/unp/ or here http://cc.workopolis.com/EN/...

10. Which way should I go??

    tkhun replied to Stray dog's topic in International

    Go the RN route and work as an ESN (Employed student nurse) during your RN training. That way you will end up with experience similar to an LPN's and be an RN at the same time. ESNs perform nearly the same duties as LPNs and get nearly the same pay, ...

11. US Citizen giving birth in Canada (I have a lot of family in Canada)

    tkhun replied to deathxgrind666's topic in International

    I think this is a question best answered by a lawyer. Even if you were to find an answer on the internet, it might not be correct or the information may be outdated. Better to pay the money and have peace of mind that you are basing your decision on ...

12. CRNE exam OCTOBER 8, 2008

    tkhun replied to suzanne4's topic in CRNE

    I think this is good advice for those who may want to work in the US in the future because the information used to prepare for CRNE is still fresh in our minds and it will be relatively easy to add stuff about the NCLEX to this fresh info.

13. Migrating to Canada: Question

    tkhun replied to control's topic in International

    It doesn't have to be cash - I don't think it's advisable to travel with that kind of cash. It can just be a bank statement showing that you have the equivalent of Can 10K in the bank. They make it this high because it can be quite difficult for some...

14. Migrating to Canada: Question

    tkhun replied to control's topic in International

    It's 10K CAN - it's not an application fee, but the money you will need to survive on when you have landed in Canada and are still looking for a job and getting settled. It sounds about right, but you can confirm it by going to the websites below: ht...

15. UBC advanced standing program

    tkhun replied to xingyuan's topic in International

    I think I read somewhere on cnsa.ca that UBC gives you a chance to review your application with them to find out what you could have done to get accepted. Check with the UBC school of nursing about having such a review. I think quite a number of peop...
