Dont know where to start...need advise for Canada

[kempo]

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to take the CRNE through British Columbia, I already read and understand their requirements and how to apply for registration. I am from the Philippines, I am a Registered Nurse and working in a tertiary hospital as a staff nurse. I think I can manage to apply and eventually take and pass the CRNE. My question is,after passing the CRNE, what will I do to practice my nursing career in Canada? Is it the same as looking for a canadian employer (hospital) to petition me for permanent residency just like in the US? I understand that there would be a temporary registration which will be issued to me to work temporarily as an RN, but how will I use it? I am not familiar with the Canadian Immigration? I need your inputs.

Thank you.

hello guys!

i know that the nursing bodies need certain number of hours in clinical duties and theory classes so that they can evaluate my application for licensing. my question is, how can they know the exact number of hours in my theory class which in fact it is not stated in my Transcript of records. i just dont know how can they evaluate that one.

thanks to the moderators!

more power!

In my case, it was indicated in the RLE records. Try to check out yours.

i went to the site of nursing bodies in BC and Alberta. i noticed that in their application package, the form that is to be sent to the School of nursing where one completed his nursing program there is a table where the school will write the number of theory hours and clinical hours. but in CNO there is none. im just really curious if how will they go about it. they have specific number of hours for theory but how can they possibly know that one? my transcript of records in school doesn't have theory hours in it- it only have the subjects, units and grades.

anyone here planning to become an RN in Ontario? or those registered in Ontario?

anyone can answer though.

thanks:saint:

I will take the Oct exam on my own without any agency,then return to my country after taking it.No major disruptions in my way of living (still have a job if I fail the exam) and if I pass then its the only time I'll start looking for a job.Just don't like the idea of sending you back if you failed the exam and the pressure of passing is not that great.

hi! may i ask how much (just an estimate) you've spent so far? including registration fees and air fare? I'm really concerned with how much it's going to cost.

Registration fees will be on the province website, air fares will vary depending on time of year and when you book your ticket, also hotel bills will come into play unless you have someone to stay with
