i have been L&D nurse for 3 yrs (1 yr on maternity leave). Everytime i sent a pt home because they are still in early labor or cervix is closed i always check when did they came back or when they delivered and so far it has been good until now. t...

me and my husband will be moving there soon. just wondering how it is to work as a nurse in BC.. is it worth it?, financially and sacrifing our life here in the Phils in exchange of a better future Canada can offer? thanks!.. ur insights will be of b...

as a foreign nurse and coming from a country who's first language is not english we are required to take the IELTS exam.. My husband took the above exam with a score of Listening -6 Reading - 5 Writting - 6 Speaking -7 total - 6. Is this good alread...

Sad but true.

LIBIE - you better start preparing for the IELTS because without it they are NOT going to assess your credentials... it is as simple as that. what makes you think they will tell you FIRST wether you will be required to undergo a bridging program or n...

why?.. do you feel hurt of something you are not guilty of?... because i dont. we are quite happy and contented of where we are and the people we are working with - and so are hundreds of other Filipino nurses here in Canada. in my opinion this is th...

well - just because you have seen 1 or 2 or 3 or ten Filipino nurses who's aiming to transfer to US thru Canada does not mean you have seen and talk to everyone. my husband and i are working as nurses here in BC for almost 2 yrs already and we have n...

did anyone have the result yet?

In the hospital i work at - the OBs have a preordered IV already. 20units oxytocin at 1000ml NS@125ml/hr x 6 hours after surgery. then plain RL after that. Then if there is any variance - then changes are made like cont NS with oxy.

please dont take offense what am about to say. If you indeed have a "good memory" as youve said - then you would have recognize the difference in the Prep guide questions compared to that of the actual exam. There are LOTS of us who took the same exa...

Prep guide will only help you see what kind of questions there will be in the exam.. but definitely NOT the same question. In fact the exam itself is far more difficult than the prep guide. Just based on my experience.

Being a proud Filipino nurse that i am, and taking pride on how our colleagues gets praises from all over the globe, an unsettling question disturb me amidst the proliferation of nursing students and soo many nursing schools lurking around. PRC is un...

im very new in L&D and i would really appreciate your hindsights on these scenario. A G2P1(now P2) came in LnD for sched induction. While on EFM, pt was saying that she was not comfortable being induced and felt like it is being done for convenie...

they did blood culture right after and it turned out negative.. thanks heaven! and yes - Demerol is very much in constant use for pain management. I see this more often than fentanyl actually. they did ABG on the cord blood which turned out 7.12 - bu...

try other provinces and keep on searching on how to apply for registration. You can have your credentials assessed anytime you want to. You dont have to wait for 5 mos as what they have been telling you.

BAGWIS - something is fishy with your contract. Nurses from the Philippines can work as nurses here in Canada which include Alberta without taking the CRNE first under the Interim Permit. We came here all the way from the Philippines directly hired b...

FELISA - where in Canada in particular?

to best answer you query il put it this way... i am not interested of working in the US anymore. We came here thru employer sponsorship.

i have no idea how is it to register as a nurse in Alberta, but i would like to believe it is almost similar with British Columbia. We came from the Philippines too, and here in Canada, you can practice as a nurse even without taking the CRNE yet thr...

I passed as well. But i cannot jump for joy since my husband failed. Does anybody know of any group tutorial/ study in BC Vancouver? I feel so depressed for my husband. I can just imagine how depressing this is for him.

lenjoy - then u got your facts wrong..my husband and i works here in Canada witout going thru that schooling. to set the record straight - despite our BSN degree - IT IS NOT considered to be equivalent to BSN here in Canada due to the reason that u m...

most probably because you are looking for a job in the wrong places.. Vancouver will always be a hot spot for almost everybody. Most applicants you are against with are Canadian graduates or experienced foreign nurses. For a foreign nurse, experience...

congrats hope!... im so nervous for my husbands result.. it has not arrive yet.. we are here in BC
