How to become RN in British Columbia?

Published

Hi guys i need your suggestions on this, my wife recently passed the recent board exam given by PRC last June2008, in this regard shes asking the step to take in going for an RN in British Columbia, Vancouver. What are the requirements so she can have her papers assessed.

Yup, the never ending yearly payments to professional bodies, to ensure that exams are written, documents checked....

Wow, seems it's so expensive, since I have to renew my registration every year.

crnbc received my completed application forms,payment form,copy of ielts test report form,proof of identification,[color=#333333]basic nursing education and request for transcript - form 30,employment reference for nurse registration - form 37 on the first week of august. the licensing authority in the philippines sent the verification of nurse registration - form 25 last week and as i checked it yesterday tracking info says delivered to richmond b.c.

yes but its too risky. going to. Canada, resigning from a job here in the Philippines, money etc. my question is that .. is it all worth it? i mean, if i passed crne, do you think that its easy to find an employer to get a workng visa knowing that there are plenty of IENs applying each year.... :c

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

It is a risk and finding a employer will depend on the province as well as meeting province college of RN requirements. Also be aware if looking to get PR without a letter of job offer the federal skilled worker route is now capped and no job offer means you can't go that route for the rest of this year

Specializes in Emergency, medical-surgical,.

As long as you have a job in the Philippines, stay where you are, apply for RN registration and wait for your assessment!

If you are able to find an employer will depend on your work expierience and your nursing speciality.

It won't be easy but if you are patient I am sure a door will open.

What exactly is Form 49 for? The only CRNBC fee that is close to $560 is the examination fee, but it's higher than that, $600 plus HST (12%) so $672. Why don't you contact CRNBC directly and get the form from them?
