baccalaureate equivalency table from CNO

affirmative R.U.Serious... all PH RN are eligible to be a RPN here in Canada
pickles, can you PM me your email address? thank you :)

This is a serious misconception. If you fail to be able to register as an RN, you must apply to the provincial College of LPNs to be assessed. I've worked with nurses from the Phillipines who were granted an interim permit to practice as LPNs and managed to FAIL the CPNRE THREE times.

Not all degrees and nursing programmes are created equal.

My advice to IEN's residing in Ontario and waiting to hear CNO's decision, is to hope for the best and have a plan B. If the CNO decides that additional education is required, you may want to check into RBC' s scholarship for internationally educated nurses, information is available on both of these sites

:yeah: thanks for the links! :yeah: although I think it cant be applied on my case, but surely will share these with my IENs friends :nurse:

hello r.u.serius,

no reply yet from CNO. i am sure that the letters of our eligibility are on their way. there was just a traffic somewhere. let's just hope and pray for a possitive result. i am also waiting but not thinking so much because i am also working and quite bz these days. anyway, i'll keep in touch and post here whatever will be the result.

good luck to all of us!!!

PiRN · Jan 19, 2011

pickles27 · Jan 19, 2011

^ No, I had my first assessment as an RN and I am not qualified. Then, I decided to have my credentials assessed as an RPN to jump start my practice as nurse.
