IEN Registration in Alberta to become more difficult

Published

This just in:

"Immigrants with nursing credentials will soon have a harder time getting licensed to work in Alberta.

Provincial funding for Mount Royal University's Internationally Educated Nurses Assessment program is being discontinued, school officials said.

About 240 nurses from other countries are assessed and registered through the program each year."

Hello

Did you finish your process with CLPNA? I don't know what to do. I received my NNAS report as somewhat comparable and now I don't know whether to apply to CLPNA or directly to the PN refresher program at NorQuest College

At the moment, I work with 2 NA's who are IEN's trying to obtain registration with CARNA unsuccessfully. So they've decided to try to register with CLPNA. I don't think this should be allowed, either.

It is tiring hearing: "I'm a nurse back home. It's not fair."

That's great, but they need to meet our standards here. I also feel that given how dismal the job market is again that all IEN registration be severely halted until things improve. Our own nurses are having a hard time finding work.
