need of help

Red Kryptonite · Dec 30, 2014

I can't answer the question about CRNE in India, but I work with a nurse who is a refugee from the Balkan war in the 90s. She landed in Germany before coming to the US, and said she came to the US partly because of extremely strict employment laws in Germany. Apparently, before she could get any job as a refugee, the employer had to be able to prove that they didn't have any viable candidates that were German citizens or naturalized immigrants who ranked above refugees in the employment preference matrix. She said she and her husband had a hell of a time getting even the lowliest jobs there to support their family. (She had one child and was pregnant when they fled. She had also been a nurse in Bosnia, so not an unskilled worker.) Based on what she told me, I wouldn't recommend Germany. However, I don't know how common laws like that are in other countries, so doing a lot of research is probably a good idea.

Europe is huge so you need to narrow down what country you wish to work in. Getting a work permit may be hard as preference is given to citizen of country then someone from the EU before elsewhere. CRNE is for Canada only so not sure why you want to take that

I have a preference of working in canada and that is the reason for enquiry on crne. It Will be great help if i get guidance on how to attempt crne and details regarding it.

Canada has nothing to do with Europe. You need to check out the provincial college of RN in the province you plan on living and working in. Starting point would be NNAS as all provinces except Quebec requires it

CRNE is no longer given (and it could only be taken in Canada) as of Jan 2015 now it's a version of the NCLEX-RN. NNAS has reported it can take up to two years for the assessment to be completed before you can apply to the provincial college of nurses for consideration to become a licensed nurse.

Agree with justbeachy, the CRNE was replaced by NCLEX, the last writing of the CRNE was October 1, 2014, since the CRNE was a paper exam, IENs wrote it in Canada. The NCLEX starts January 5, 2015, the NCLEX is a computer based test and we do not know if IENs will be allowed to sit the exam in their home country (I hope they will, but I have no say in the matter).

According to CRNNS website the NCLEX can be done at some International centers

Starting in 2015 candidates seeking licensure in Canada will be able to take the NCLEX at test centers within Canada, throughout the United States and at select centers internationally. You can use the test center locator on the Pearson VUE NCLEX website to find the centers in the United States and international locations. Since Pearson is expanding the network of test centers available to candidates seeking licensure/registration in Canada, the centers below will be available in the test center locator on November 3, 2014. For your convenience below is a list of the centers that will be available to you when registrations

open November 3, 2014.

Thankyou all for your great responses. Will this nclex help me to be a RN in canada eventhough i don't have any of my friends or relation there.?

dishes, BSN, RN · Dec 30, 2014

To determine your eligibility to immigrate look on Canadian immigration and citizenship (CIC). Keep working in India and save your money (lots of it!) you will need to show "proof of funds", meaning you have enough money to support yourself after you get to Canada. The proof of funds amount varies from year to year, currently, it is > 11,000 Canadian dollars for a single person.

Thankyou dishes. Is it so that if I clear nclex or crne and migrate to canada with a PR, I will be accepted as RN and can work in any hospital??

No. You cannot take the CRNE as of October 2014. You need to be evaluated by NNAS (up to 2 years for the credential assessment), then apply to your chosen provincial college of nurses, gain eligibility to take the NCLEX, pass NCLEX & be deemed eligible for licensure. Then meet CIC requirements to immigrate to Canada as a nurse.
