I am an Ontario RPN, I have completed the CPRNE. What qualifications does a Ontario RPN need to meet BC regulation? Another exam maybe? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC is an "old girls network" type of place and preference seems to always be given to locals despite what experience you may have. It also depends on the facilities but some really restrict your scope of practice. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have learned from reading on here that the scope for PNs in BC is far narrower than other provinces. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
