What to do after SEC assessment?

Mona77 · Jun 30, 2010

I, too will undergo the SEC assessment.

After you have scheduled your SEC assessment you will receive an e-mail

providing all information and an assessment packages, preparing you for Triple Jump and Clinical Judgement.

I have purchased the textbook of Canadian Medical/Surgical Nursing, Canadian Fundamentals of Nursing, current Drug Guide, Canadian Maternity, Newborn and Women`s Health Nursing and a CRNE Prep Guide (now waiting for Pediatrics and mental health).

With all these resources I hope to be able to prepare for SEC and CRNE, but my prime objective was to enhance my english skills and professional nursing language.

Perhaps this can help!

Hi Mona77 have you applied for a temporary resident visa already?

Mona77 · Jul 16, 2010

No, I don´t need a TRV.

I am a german citizen, allowed to stay for 6 month in Canada without

visa.

Will you apply for Permanent Residency or wait and try the PNP?

Hi Mona77,

I am so afraid i know few peopel thay did not well on SEC and now thay have to do re entry 1 year and further 20000$. If it will happen to me i can forget to immigrat to CA.

Would be nice if you would answer.

Thank you in advans.

Once you are scheduled for SEC assessment, you`ll receive an information

package via e-mail, with scenarios that you can work through (clinical judgement, triple jump), outlining which textbooks + standards should be reviewed to be successful in SEC assessment.

Beeing successful, will depend on your language skills, your knowledge

about Nursing in Canada as well as how familiar you are with Canadian Nursing

procedures and Practice Standards.

Since you received nursing education in Germany the CNA´s Code of Ethics will be familiar and shouldn`t create a problem.

I highly recommend to review respective laws and provisions and the nurse´s Scope of Practice!

Ask the people, who completed SEC assessment, if they know where they were lacking knowledge or which part of SEC assessment caused problems, maybe it will help you to prepare yourself for SEC assessment.

Wish you patience and successful learning strategies.

Hi Mona77,

thank you very much for your response.

Its very halpfull.

Anfortunatly the peopel whom i know who did SEC have education from India and China, I am not sure but i think thay have Bachelor degree 4 years and i have german "Staatsexamen" and only 3 years .

I just wanted to ask you if you alredy got from SEC this package with Information which outsanding topics you have to review or may be you alredy have done your SEC and what thay asked you.

I know for sure, that it depends on your primary education as RN what they going to ask you, that is why i thought may be you know alredy. Cuz i think we have lack, in our german education, like pediatrics

I know that some peopel have had only rollplay, lik put smb. on I.V and write a report.

Anyway thank you very much that you responded my Question.

And if you done your SEC pleas tell me about this or tell us all.

Thnks a lot.
