Thanks for the response Fiona. And NO, i'ved never been to Manitoba, that is why I'ved said i'm wondering though they have been posting jobs & offers on their website. I'ved heard and read about drugs & gangster in Manitoba but I believe that other provinces also deals with that same problem. Have you been and have worked in Manitoba? Would love to hear inputs so would have idea of nursing status in other provinces. Have read a thread here before from a nurse in Manitoba that they're enjoying their work & benefits. But of course, I agree with you that there's a reason why people chose not to move to certain provinces. And yes, AHS is just starting to post hirings "open to public", not much "permanent full time position", most are "temporary positions. And its also not easy to get one eventhough you're already within the system.

hmmmm...how come i don't hear from you about Manitoba? Some of my friends got a job offer from Manitoba & Nova Scotia. And have learned that they also have good benefits.....just wondering. >>>Just passed CRNE & my children just got here in Alberta. I'm also looking for RN position, trying to get one here in Alberta because I wish us to be stable here for a while before moving somewhere.

Hello to allnurses.com members & guest! It's been a long time since i last visited this site. I just recently passed the CRNE last June, now the next step is to find an RN position. :)

Hi, i don't have anything against 2nd coursers but just want to share my ideas and story. Maturity is one big difference between 2nd courser and a student who just graduated from high school. Maturity includes good judgement and rationalization on certain things. 2nd courser usually ages from 20s and higher and sometimes they're already in 30s or 40s and even older than their professors/ instructors. Younger students who just graduated from high school and tooked up nursing are still teenagers. See the big difference? differentiating them would be in big numbers. 2nd coursers already knows where to go if they need something. example: thesis, of course they already know where to get a prepared thesis while young studs have just started learning on their basic step to know things including their ownselves. I am not a second courser but my sis (older than me), hehehehe. She once told me about a young stud doing something on a ward and she criticizing about her young classmates' act/skill in the ward. hahahaha. I did not comment anything but just listened on her story. But believe me, although 2nd coursers would tend to show as if they are superior and knows a lot of things, they have a higher anxieties than younger studs. Some of them are ashame to ask things they need to know and understand on a certain subject. Some of them even has a higher anxiety level than younger ones especially when taking major exams. hehehehe because it would be a shame for them to fail while their younger sisters/ brother has passed the exams on one sitting. hahahahaha. And more so, sad to say that even though they excel in their class (2nd coursers), they really have a prob on getting a job in a hospital. Its even harder for 2nd courser to work without pay for 6months and the trainings as compared with younger nurses. my eldest sis is really good, she speaks very well in english as compared to me with my grammars & accent (hahaha). I can't even speak very very fluent english unlike my eldest sis but I'm helping her right now, telling her the do's and dont's on ielts (of course with respect and not bossy hahahah). I therefore conclude that::nuke: some 2nd coursers may be arrogant, superior or have attitude problem but they also have their own fears more than we know. And some younger nurses may seem crazy with their decisions, thinking and acts but its because of their immaturities and lack of life experiences as compared to 2nd coursers.

Wow, honestly speaking I admire you for not giving up. Have faith! We believe that you can make it. hmmm, make sure that you have read and understand Mosby prioritization & delegation 3x before you take nclex exam again. I'm not a very good test taker but I guess it would be a help because it wl get you familiarize on prioritization & delegation matters. Also check your notes about health teachings and infection control. I wish you luck and i'll pray for you. Take care. GO GO GO! YOU CAN DO IT MMATY!

:ancong!: :dncgbby:lets dance for that.:dncgcpd:

I feel happy whenever I read threads here of those who have passed nclex and I feel hurt & sad for those nurses who fails this exam because I know how hard it is. Not only the expense but the time and struggle that a nurse takes for this nclex exam. Please don't give up, just continue to study and pray, have faith and just try to think that you can overcome it. Remember, so many nurses here did not give up and later on passed nclex. They were able to do it and I believe that you can also make it next time. Be strong, be brave, have faith, believe in yourself. :smiley_ab God Bless!!!

congrats to you!!!!:anpom: i wish you to have a wonderful, and fruitful nursing career and be a truly good traumarn. you deserve to have a very nice treat & gift. :onbch:

>>>>>>sigh! soooo many nurses nowadays. If only I could turn back time & have money. I would want to study different kind of langguages and wave my hand on camera on Ms. Universe Beauty Pageant and smile but not as a contestant but as an interpreter and would speak like this "Moshi Moshi!, Como Estas Usted? Ni Hao Ma? Kefalhal?" hahaha:thankya:

Hi Aspire! Just for your info, Philippine National Red Cross in Intramuros Manila conducts a weekly training for CPR & Basic Life Support (starts every monday). You need to be there at 7am or before for the registration. You also needs to bring medical certificate because the training consists of different scenarios/situations wherein you would need to run & carry and the medical certificate would be for your protection & theirs too. And lastly, of course you bring money for the registration. hehehehe.

OUCHHHH!!!! Take a deep breath and think clearly. I am not there, haven't been there and i do not know what you're going through right now BUT try to finish your contract as much as possible because breech of contract would surely cost you a "LOT" or otherwise, they may sue you. Just think positively that you are already there for 2yrs & 4months and it means that you just have to sacrifice & wait for only 8months. Time approaches too fast and just think that "you be able to finish it without noticing it" and then go to a place where you wanna stay. I pray that you be in good condition, safe and strong. Take care & God Bless you!.

I agree with Suzanne. Passing all exams and having an employer doesn't guarantee of getting to US. Even if an employer has already filed for our papers and yet we have no choice but to wait and go to other country where we could find better income while waiting or to have better opportunity for our career, future and for our family. And if you qualify getting a job on other open countries, take it because they might also close sooner or later like what happened with UK wherein they prefer EU nurses. God Bless you all fellow nurses. Don't give up, be strong and try to check on other opportunites around us. It surely be hard but as they say "BIG DREAMS MEANS BIG WORK!" Again, I wish you all my fellow nurses to have clearer path and good opportunities to come.

Hiiiiiii!!! Please check your preferred state of the requirements and check if they require you taking CGFNS exam before taking nclex because only few states requires it and it would just be a waste of time, money and effort if you'll take cgfns exam though not needed. I took cgfns exam 2006 then nclex & ielts 2007 but i am still here in the Philippines. See? And I regret that I tooked cgfns because i spent a year for it (review, exam and most of all "the waiting period on applications and result).

Goodluck to you!:w00t:hmmmm, i can feel that you have passed the exam. >>> just a feeling. hahahaha, again, goodluck!

yessss, hv patience and be persistent and also, it would be nice to have a continous education or masteral. hmmm, that is what i'm doing so i could still surround myself with nurses and could still feel that i'm still alive. whaaaaaaaaaa.... because it is quite depressing to just wait at home. grrrrrrrr
