CNO refuse to take CRNE.

[iamdi]

I am a nurse in the philippines. I also have experience. Im also registered nurse in NEW York City. Before I move here in Canada, I send my credentials to CNO including endorsement of license from the US. I submitted my application April 2010. May 2012 my application is refuse due to 3 reason. 1. Because I don't have ontario nursing program. 2. Safe practice requirement.

I appeal my case to health professions. I have a teleconference with CNO regarding my eligibility to take the exam.

I've my assessment for 2 years and the result is refuse. Ive submitted all my employment history and also my license from the Philippine and USA. and still they denied my application. All I want is to take the CRNE to prove my credibility.

Can someone help me here !!!:cry:

>> Is anybody here graduate from the philippines allowed by College of Nurses of Ontario to take the CRNE using your Philippine Nursing Education.?

I have no idea why you are bickering over English requirements. The OP never once said she was refused due to English inefficiency. I, in fact, found her English quite understandable, she asked for advice.

Haven't been on this site for awhile, I myself is a nurse from the Philippines and now a RN here in Ontario. Some of you guys are totally not helping at all. I thought this site is made to help out nurses who needs advice. I myself did seek advice when I am in the process of getting my license here. I must say, I AM NOT GOOD IN ENGLISH but my english is good enough for my patients to understand and for me to understand them. And I believe that is enough. I am commended of being the best nurse on all my jobs, In spite of a little language barrier. She is just asking for some advise. and yes as PRAIRIENURSE1989 says she didn't say that she was denied of pursuing her RN career here in ON because of english inefficiency. You don't solely need to be fluent in english but you have to have the knowledge and skills of a NURSE. You are not english teachers or professors to be so flawless on your grammar.

To iamdi, College must have a reason for the refusal. I myself is a RN in the Philippines and NY as well.. As others have said, I completed the BET as well and that helped me to get their permission for me to take the CRNE. I took the CRNE after that and passed it the first time. I am now practicing here in Ontario for 2 years now. Wish you all the best. PM me if I could help you on your journey.

of course you need to be proficient in english, communication is key in nursing, with the patients and the team. Nursing is a profession and you need to be professional. Maybe then, you can properly pronounce names instead of calling all male clients "papa" and females "mama'. I was an IEN as well and accepted and graduated from a bridging program. Now I practice as an RN in acute care. I am glad the standards are set high. Rules and regulations must be followed.

hi gailtan, I moved here in quebec 2 mos ago. I want to ask eventhough u only have temporary license from quebec, can you transfer it to CNO and will they give you fulltime license? or do u still need to take ielts exam? by the way, I haven't started my registration yet. im still confused if I will register in quebec or CNO because I heard they might accept old nclex-passer next year.

Why do you want to leave Quebec already?

In 2015 it's true that our Colleges of Nursing will accept "old NCLEX-passers" BUT... the exam a person has written as part of the registration process is only one part of the process, the very last one in fact. Before you can get to the exam you have to document and demonstrate that you've graduated from an approved nursing education program (which varies from province to province and from country to country), that you have reasonable proficiency in the language spoken where you plan to work, that you have evidence of safe nursing practice, that you have no criminal past, that you have legal authorization to work in Canada and that you have an understanding of the legal responsibilities of nursing in Canada. Until you meet ALL of those requirements the exam means nothing.

As a general rule, you should apply for registration in the province where you intend to live and work, not where you'll have the easiest time meeting the requirements. While there is registration reciprocity between provinces, IENs will still be assessed from square one.
