Advise for me on my somewhat small dilemma

Published

Okay, I moved to Canada September 1st (2nd long term stay & now Permanent Resident). I have been in contact with a lady at CHRA. Once on my return I contacted her and I am now working in a ward as a NA in which I wish not to be in once I become a Grad RN. I am not sure what to say to her (besides being grateful and honored for the offer) when that time comes to work in that ward that I am on now. As I already had the experience back home in Australia working as a Graduate Nurse in the same type of ward. I promised myself to be kind and not to work on Cardiac as its not for me. This is why I wish to find the words to say to her when the time comes that I am granted Temporary Practice Permit to work as a Grad Nurse.

My interest is to work in Canada as either a Rehabilitation Nurse or in Community Nursing.

Your advice would be appreciated as I wish for my life in Canada to work out including a career in nursing in the area that I wish to be in, no one else.

Thanks;)

I would just be honest and thank her for all of her help but you really want to work in rehab or the community. Most people would understand if you explain that it just isn't the right fit for you.

Hi WYZQO7

I really didnt enjoy that SEC assessment? I found it hard. If I was able to do my SEC in March next year as I wanted to, then it might have been a different story. I felt ridiculous. I met another Philipino nurse at Mount Royal College, she had 5 days of doing the SEC assessment, I only had two days for the PEDIATRICS AND OBSTRETICS.

Study: Anatomy & Physiology of Woman in pregnancy, know the APGAR scores (assessment of baby), know your pediatrics calculations which in volve the weight doseages, know how to give education to a woman expecting baby (pre, during and post pregnancy), know about contractions and when the woman is about to deliver, know the developmental stages of infancy to youth.

I went into the SEC assessment very quickly as there was an availability sooner to plan. I was advised to try and get it done sooner. I went into it with Whatever, again if I had more time to study for the March assessment I may have been better for it.

I hope some of the information helps you out. It is intimidating process and I dont see the worth in it really. Its what Canada expects of IEN's so, do what you can.

In the end I am happy to do courses, and hopefully its a good tuition price.

Awaitng CARNA advice.
