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...

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...

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...

Hi I am a US citizen and will graduate with an ADN next week - I will take the NCLEX-RN in September or October. My husband is a Canadian citizen. We've lived in the US for 20+ years but he would like to return home to help care for his aging pare...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hi, I just got what I think will be a great job for me as a school nurse! I have only been a nurse for a short time < 1 year, but before I went back to school to become a nurse I was a substitute educational assistant and worked in a variety ...

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.

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...

What type of nursing are you doing now? Just curious. I was doing private duty nursing for peds as well and just got hired to be a school nurse starting in the fall and I'm excited for the new challenge!

Wow - I wish I would've known that before I picked peds 1st - ?. I think I picked Med-Surg second, which is where I did my practicum... I will check out MultiCare and keep updating my Providence app! Thanks!

I'm filling out a residency application and I think I would like to work in pediatrics. I am not picky about PICU, or NICU, or ? Just kids. I currently work as a private duty pediatric nurse working with medically fragile children. Basically, I want ...

How is it going for you all? I applied to the Legacy August 2021 start... Just closed this last week. So I'm curious how it all went for you - who got it? Several of my classmates were already Legacy employees, so they didn't need a BSN and were able...

I ended up taking a job as a private duty nurse working for an agency that specializes in home care for medically fragile children. So, I am getting peds experience and the agency actually works with school districts to get school nurses - granted, i...

What is a good first job for a new graduate? I'm looking to get some experience to make myself attractive to hospitals/acute care. I haven't gotten a residency spot but I will keep trying. I'm interested in peds, med-surg, or public health...

I got my "pending" license number right away - as soon as Nursys sent Washington the info and I applied for the Washington endorsement. I opted to go to Washington to have my fingerprints done, instead of sending them in and I had my fingerprints do...

I graduated with an ADN in August. There are 2 main hospital systems where I live. The residencies at one of the hospital systems have been filled - my classmates who got placements there either already worked for that hospital system or did their s...
