Hi everyone!

I was wondering if i caould get any tips on the Canadain RN exam

like how much prep does one really need?

I got the Canadian RN exam prep guide (3rd edition) written by CNA

if i go...

Is it true that canadian immigraiton is not open for new grad because we have to have certain amount of real word working experience (like 1200hours).

Specializes in NICU, PICU, PCVICU and peds oncology.

Canadian nursing registries require a minimum number of hours worked during the preceeding X number of years in order to maintain a license. In Alberta they want "(a) 1125 hours of registered nursing practice; or

(b) successful completion of a degree or a nursing program satisfactory to the Registrar; or

© successful completion of a nursing refresher program satisfactory to the Council" for Canadian applicants. International applicants must provide documentation regarding their education and undergo a substantive equivalence determination, prove licensure in their home country with documentation sent directly from the licensing body to CARNA, demonstrate proficiency in English and/or French, recent reference of 225 hours minimum of nursing employment in Canada or the US with documentation sent directly from the employer to CARNA and a few other things. http://www.nurses.ab.ca/Carna/index.aspx?WebStructureID=1279

Each province does things their own way. But you must realize that the greatest responsibility each registry has is to the people of their province to ensure that they receive safe, competent nursing care. That is why the requirements for ALL nurses to obtain registration are so stringent. It will never be "easy", nor should it be, to obtain a nursing license in Canada, because people's lives are at stake.

Is it true that canadian immigraiton is not open for new grad because we have to have certain amount of real word working experience (like 1200hours).

Whilst your nursing qualification may allow you to get to Canada via the SW route (approval of training transcripts and RN exam permitting), you may find that you cannot get there quickly via a work permit or PNP.

The reason for this, according to the head of HR in a large hospital, is that Canada it training its own nurses and if a post is for a new grad, they can probably fill it with one of their own nurses and questions would be asked when they apply for the LMO.

If they are needing a nurse with specific experience they the LMO would be little more than a formality.
