How to become RN in British Columbia?

Silverdragon102, BSN · Jul 30, 2008

Moved to the International forum as per the red banner asking registration and immigration questions to be posted there if foreign trained nurses

All information will be on the province's nursing board website. Where exactly are you looking to work as I notice you are also asking about Singapore? For Canada she will have to take the CRNE which is only held 3 times a year in Canada, will need English exam. We have a few threads ongoing regarding the process suggest a search

You need to log on to www.crnbc.ca and download the packet for international nurses. This may take at most 6 months for registration so you better lodge your application. Mine was lodged last July 7, and until now havent receive any feedback from them. It will take about 8-12 weeks for the receipt and another 12-16 weeks for the final evaluation.

Thanks for the info.Are you physically located in the Philippines? My application was sent JUne 2008. I was moved into the system July 7, 2008. I am not receiving any correspondents from them up to now.

Probably they are getting an influx of applicants.

DO you have an employer for BC who is willing to sponsor you?

Thank you.

That's good to hear. I hope to receive my assessment the soonest possible time and apply also. I hope I could get someone to petition me all the way as you did. If you wouldn't mind, how long have you been working as a nurse in the Philippines. Thanks and best of luck.
