Hello Gambutrol! I have just read through the length of your thread.. I agree with roll_69 that SRNA has been receiving large amounts of IEN application for the last 6 months and every application is in queu, processed according to when it was received. As for your working visa, the Canadian Embassy may or may not grant you one pending your SRNA eligibility. You are right that some nurses have been issued a visa without the eligibility but the general requirement for issuance is the Eligibility letter. Besides, upon your entry to canada, the immigration officer will ask for your eligibility letter to take the CRNE from SRNA as a supporting document to your work permit. I am glad to hear that you have been relieved to receive the Document checklist from SRNA via email and all required documents have been received. But, having so means that they have just opened your file and will still need to process it. They will still review and evaluate the number of nursing hours you have practiced and might write your you for verification including you, your previous employers as to the currency of your nursing practice. I knew of some whose RLE hours have been questioned as to the area of Pediatrics and Pyschiatric Nursing. Lastly, have patience and comply asap if they require anything. Take note the name of the person who sent you the email as she is the one who is processing your file. Call if you need to for clarification of concerns. You mentioned you are going to work at the Regina General Hospital under the Regina Qu' Appelle Health Region. The next batch of IEN take will be this fall yet as we have heard here. So, that will be September and that will by batch. Welcome to Regina and hope this helps!

Hello all! Congratulations again to all who passed! For those who will have to take again, your preparation starts now.. You can do it!

update... my friend just got hold of her results... she passed! Thank God! Godbless everyone! :heartbeat

Congrats clueless_rn! To all those waiting, my friend is waiting too for her results.. almost everyone we knew got their results since last Monday in Saskatchewan. Unfortunately, according to SRNA, her results were sent out already but it seems that it is lost in the mailing system. Just remember to be positive and my prayers are all with you! take care :heartbeat

Hello to all! I just got my results yesterday! I passed! Thank God.. Good Luck to all those waiting.. CRNE results for Saskatchewan have been mailed out from SRNA last friday and results have been received by some already! HTH

thanks for the input, janfrn..

ad2008, sent you a pm..

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any suggestion out there which Metro Manila hospital should I visit? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> hi.. you can visit: 1. Medical City 2. Philippine General Hospital 3. St. Luke's Medical Center You can google search them for their respective websites and locations. hope this helps..:heartbeat

hi ad2008, please type in the search box above for "crne".. there have been threads where crne materials have been discussed. but, here in the philippines.. no crne materials are available here. unless you order it out of the country. nclex materials are one source of review.. but crne usually focuses on psychosocial issues.. hope this helps..

Please search for "CRNE" in the search box above, you will find lots of helpful tips as to books to be used and different study approaches. HTH:heartbeat

better sent a PM to sknurse who is in SK already.. being under an agency such as APEX and Mercan is a bit easier for me since they know all the immigration loops there such as POEA concerns and etc.. hope this helps..:heartbeat

thanks nina! i say they did something good! what matters is how do you see it? I say, "Look at the glass as half-Full" Let's pray for those who are taking the October CRNE exam..

hey guys, just would like to update you about the first batch who are now in saskatoon... here is the link: http://www.saskatoonhealthregion.ca/news_you_need/media_centre/media/2008/recruitment_trip.htm :heartbeat
