Manitoba Nurses

Hi! I'm just new here so please pardon my ignorance.. I just graduated last april and passed the board june of the same here. I'm a registered nurse here in the Philippines and been committed as a volunteer nurse for 3 months now since all the hospitals stopped hiring nurses for selfish reasons if I may say. I have a pending application as a provincial nominee in Manitoba and I intend to challenge their CRNM exam but I'm a bit confused wether I'm qualified if a) I still don't have a paid hospital experience, b) I'm a second courser and I just finished my nursing degree for 2 years (trimester). I already visited the CRNM website but I couldn't find answers to my concerns. Please explain to me the things that I have to do to enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

I mean about nurses who are interested, on their way and successful about registration, employment and migration to Manitoba, Canada.

Thanks.

People just post on here regarding their experiences and then once in Canada and want to ask advice on working can post in the Canadian forum

Thank you Silverdragon

does the verification of practice hours mean that i should first have clinical experience prior to application for the CRNE?

Only they can make that decision based on your transcripts etc.

ok so its not true what hearsays that all IEN's nurse should undergo the assessment

There are IEN's that have had to SEC but a lot will depend on transcripts. Cases are dealt with on an individual basis so we can't say one way or another. All you can do is wait to hear from the college.

thanks!!

ill update you!! i do hope they wont

hi i'm also an IEN from the Philippines i graduated last April 2008 and i already had 2 years experience as an ICU nurse and in medical surgical area. I also obtained my licensed in state of Vermont last 2009.I'm working now in Makati as utilization management reviewer basically its like call center job but they require US license nurses. I found out that i need to have proof immigration in Canada before i can send my application but there's no problem with that cause i'm going to apply for my PR as family sponsorship by my Fiance next year probably February or march 2011. .

My 1st question is if i'm going to apply next year as IEN in CRNM do i still need to take the IELTS exam again? I took my IELTS last July 2009 and it will expire July 2011.

2nd can i also put my current work in the form "request of verification of practice hours" even if its not bed side care?

3rd is there any IEN from the Philippines who took the CCA also known as SEC assessment n Manitoba can you give us some feedback about the said assessment?

4th Do you think that its better for me to apply as LPN first before doing the RN application? cause i also consider it if in case my RN application will take too long.

5 thIs there anyone from FEU manila?

1/ As long as your IELTS is current CRNM will accept the results but they have to come from the testing agency.

2/ Verification of practice hours refers ONLY to nursing work so no, your call centre work does not apply.

4/ NO! I'm quite sure that Manitoba does not allow RNs to work as LPNs, and the application process for LPNs is similar to the one for RNs so will take about the same amount of time. There would be no advantage to doing this.

thanks for your reply janfrn :)
