Hello everyone. I'm Nurse currently working in a Nursing Home. I was educated in the Philippines. My current employer hired me and my wife by sponsoring us, so still I'm a temporary worker. We were nominated by the province to become permanent resident and my application is currently being processed . I guess my question is, "will I have a hard time applying in the hospital" since my Nursing experience (Canadian experience) is mainly Nursing Home. I've been working here for 2 years now and the management have supported us and sends us to seminars and management workshop's to further enhance our management skill since RN's are supervisor' in the Nursing home setting. Me and my wife are still young and wanted to pursue working in the hospital and or move to a different province since the place were currently living is "very country living" Don't get me wrong ,I love this place but I still want to move to the city. Should we stay here and wait until we retire from Nursing since 80% of my co -worker are retiring soon. more opportunity for me to go up the ladder.(ie: Director of Nursing) that would Great!!!! Please advice me on this... I don't Hate my Job, in fact I love my job so much. I guess Nursing is Nursing. I just don't want to miss out on anything, still want to work in the Hospital but I also don't want to regret it if I leave the company I'm in now..really confused! Thank you all Proud to be Filipino-Canadian Nurse......... ey!

I took my exam here in Nova Scotia. I guess it is a bit true that if you failed you will be informed first. if not, you will get a registered mail not by regular mail.....goodlcuk to all

Hello, I passed!!!!!! :lol2:.... you are all correct those who failed were notified first and the mail is registered. all envelope for those who pass are regular mail not registered...... goodluck to all. This site is really good.. I got good tips. Prep guide, mosby and lipincot's are the best study materials. ...... Go Pinoy RN and Go Canadian RN

after recieving my eligibility letter from CRNNS, nova scotia. I posted my resume online, just search from the jobbank of canada,. I'm already done with all legal papers that the philippines needed for me to be allowed out of the country, another wastefull steps and burden to its people.

just to update everyone, my Visa is already been approved last august 6, hope to be in canada in sept. goodluck everyone.

after passing the local board exam here in the philippines I had a hard time looking for hospitals that will allow me even as a volunteer. I have zero work experience. , my visa is already approved and hope to be in nova scotia by mid september.

sheng... thank you very much, around mid september I'll be in nova scotia. well I guess I better start reviewing. thnaks everyone.

Do I need to start from the basics like funda ,Ms etc....or should I start reading Prep guide?

Hello to everyone,I am a Nurse educted in the Philippines. I already have my work permit and I will be going to Nova scotia soon to work as a GN. I started this thread because I will be sitting on CRNE soon. I would like to share tips on how to review and what is the rigth books to read. this will be helpfull for me and to those IEN's like me. good luck to all.

silverdragon I have my eligibility from nova scotia even though I dont have much hospital experience and I was lucky enough to find employer to sponsor me for TWP. already done with my medical and just waiting for the result, hope to come to canada by july or august. I have a question, if I will be there in canada by August, do I have to sit on CRNE by oct or do I have to wait up to Feb?

all in all it only took me a month for me to get my eligibility in the province of Nova Scotia

thank you for the quick reply, I really hope I get my Visa approved even though I dont have experience I am just holding to my eligibility as my last hope.

I have a question. How long is my eligibility valid? some say's it is good for 2 yrs from the date it was issued, but on my eligibility says that I "Examination candidates have three opportunities to pass the examination in the twenty‑four (24) month period following their first writing. " I am little bit confuse

I am already done with my Medical and I am just waiting for the result, also my wife is in the same situation but her's is a little bit different, her english exam was forwarded to the college before it expires that's why she was also able to get her eligibility. now she submitted her IELTS exam that is already expired. is it required to have IELTS exam upon submiton of documents to CIC do they know that it is needed to get eligibility.

I am Nurse here in the Philippines with no Hospital experience after passing the Nurse Licensure Exam due to over supply of Nurses. I decided to register in one of the province of Canada, luckily I was granted, I was able to find an employer to sponsor me even without any experience at all, my position will be a Graduate Nurse. to cut the story short, I already applied for TWP last April and I am just waiting for the result . What are my chances of getting approve and if ever I will get one, will the Immigration officer in canada deny me entry because of lack of experience. please can can somebody enlighten me on this matter. From what I know NOC 3152 or Graduate Nurse needs 0 to 2 yrs experience as per CIC. Thank you,
