1. Internationally Educated Nurse

   StudentRN56 replied to HaydenF's topic in Canada

   Not sure if you got an answer to this question or not. But here's my advice based on my experience. Apply for NCAS and BCCNM first - they will help hook you up with a job through HealthMatchBC. I already became a permanent resident without needi...

2. Private duty nursing.. looking for change

   StudentRN56 replied to nurse2703's topic in Career Support

   I became a school nurse after private duty nursing. It was so nice - day shifts, no weekends, easy to take days off, no guilt trips about aforementioned days off, lots of training opportunities. There are a couple different kinds of school nurse...

3. Canadian husband wants to move back

   StudentRN56 replied to StudentRN56's topic in Canada

   Just wanted to give an update - I finally called NNAS at the end of March and they quickly finished my review. In the meantime, BC joined the Maritime Provinces to use the NCAS to have everything evaluated. So, NNAS sent NCAS my report and NCAS had m...

4. USA to Canada

   StudentRN56 replied to Jouba's topic in Canada

   OOH - cool to put the agencies down! I will check those out! I applied to get a BC RN license but I'm still waiting for them to evaluate everything - so I haven't been able to apply for any jobs just yet. I can confirm you don't need citizenship...

5. USA to Canada

   StudentRN56 replied to Jouba's topic in Canada

   Hi - I'm a US citizen and US educated registered nurse. I've moved to Canada with my Canadian husband so we could be closer to his aging parents. If you were not educated in Canada, you will be an Internationally Educated Nurse and will need to ...

6. Canadian husband wants to move back

   StudentRN56 replied to StudentRN56's topic in Canada

   I had to use NNAS but my application is still in the process of being evaluated - it's been a long process. In BC (and possibly all of Canada - I only paid attention to BC since that's where my in-laws live) only NNAS can be used to verify your infor...

7. Renewing license CEs

   StudentRN56 replied to StudentRN56's topic in Oregon

   FYI - I just reread the section on the Oregon State Board of Nursing renewal page and it says - the class/training does not have to be approved by OHA... The approved ones are just a place for you to start looking for where you can find CEUs...

8. Renewing license CEs

   StudentRN56 posted a topic in Oregon

   I am renewing my license for the first time and I need 2hrs of CE in Cultural Competency. I took 2 classes that I thought would satisfy the requirement but when I went to print the certificate one specifically said not approved in Oregon ? Sadly...

9. Canadian School Nurses?

   StudentRN56 replied to StudentRN56's topic in Canada

   Yes I have a BSN. School nursing here involves case management of students with health conditions such as diabetes, severe allergies, seizures, and asthma - as well as the rest of the school population generally. I am involved with covid symptom trac...

10. Canadian School Nurses?

    StudentRN56 posted a topic in Canada

    I'm a school nurse in Oregon. My husband wants to move back to BC to help care for his aging parents. I've applied to have my license evaluated to be able to work in BC. Is school nursing common in BC? When I search for RN jobs in BC I usually just f...

11. Canadian School Nurses?

    StudentRN56 posted a topic in School

    My husband is wanting to move closer to his aging parents. They live in BC. I've applied to get my license evaluated and hopefully be able to work up there. My question is, do they have school nurses in Canada? Or BC? It seems in the US it is al...

12. Less restrictions for DM I kids

    StudentRN56 replied to arlingtonnurse's topic in School

    I'm in Oregon and we have to have a delegated UAP - trained to administer insulin and glucagon - attend field trips with DM1 kiddos but often the parents will go on the field trip with them. I have 4 schools, so it is not practical (or maybe even pos...

13. New to work and School Nursing.

    StudentRN56 replied to coldcasejustice's topic in School

    Well, I'm new to nursing and school nursing as well. I do not have a high school - I have 3 elementary schools and a middle school @ 2000 students total. I do think that middle school students and generally their parents are less demanding because th...

14. New school nurse here!

    StudentRN56 replied to StudentRN56's topic in School

    The Oregon nurse practice act - division 45 - I have looked at a lot because of the BSN capstone project I'm working on. I'm going to say delegating to a UAP, plus the usual care planning, standards of practice, and cultural responsiveness.

15. New school nurse here!

    StudentRN56 replied to StudentRN56's topic in School

    Wow, I got hired at the very end of June, so the schools were all closed and I've been working on my last class for my BSN. Long story short - I've done very little to prepare for being a school nurse other than pick up a new patient who is more medi...
