  1. Tax and Social Insurance in Canada

    RGN1 replied to Hagazussa's topic in International Nursing

    Bear in mind the the training for psychiatric nurses & mental health nurses are two different branches in the UK, so may not be a fit for RMN. I'm not saying for sure that it won't be good...

  2. Tax and Social Insurance in Canada

    RGN1 replied to Hagazussa's topic in International Nursing

    You need to read the posts in the International forum though because you have to be a general trained nurse for Canada. The other UK branches are not recognised & even the newer UK General nurses...

  3. Resident of Canada...former UK nurse, how to work in Canada?

    RGN1 replied to canadauk's topic in International Nursing

    Still worth looking into the nursing though because they will need nurses in the future for sure! That way, when things get going again you'll be ready &

  4. Alberta Health Services

    RGN1 replied to Fiona59's topic in Canada

    What do you mean..........they were offering such a wonderful (NOT) severance package to AHS employees. Can't think why everybody didn't take it!!

  5. UK Student Wanting To Go To Canada For 8 Week Placement

    RGN1 replied to Kimbochimbo's topic in International Nursing

    I have known students in the UK that have done placements in the USA, New York to be precise. They had to fund it all themselves but it was possible. Maybe the College of nursing in the Province you...

  6. Do the CNA proof read their materials...?

    RGN1 replied to Higgs's topic in International Nursing

    I would imagine the answer depended on what exactly the question was asking. That's the thing with nursing (& medicine in general), what may be right in once instance may not be in another. You...

  7. Alberta Health Services

    RGN1 replied to Fiona59's topic in Canada

    You forget, of course, that there isn't a nursing shortage! There was but now, somehow, despite the hiring freeze (that didn't happen really) & the non-replacement of staff who leave we're just...

  8. uk nurse wanting to work in florida

    RGN1 replied to sue3465's topic in International Nursing

    If you're set on one particular State DO NOT use an agency. You will have to wait until the economy gets better before you stand a hope in Heaven of getting to the USA. Trust me I had it all - job...

  9. RPN / RN, Degree / Diploma HELP!

    RGN1 replied to so1982's topic in International Nursing

    In truth I would consider upgrading your qualifications to a degree (can be done part-time in the UK.) By the time you've finished, the economy in Canada will most likely have picked up again &...

  10. Alberta Health Services

    RGN1 replied to Fiona59's topic in Canada

  12. Alberta Health Services

    RGN1 replied to Fiona59's topic in Canada

    Well as long as the notices go out after 15th Jan anyway!! We've had a full time RN leave who we've already been told will not be replaced plus we have some staff on temp lines that are ending soon...

  13. Alberta Health Services

    RGN1 replied to Fiona59's topic in Canada

    14 months would keep me safe! :-) BTW They privatised cleaning in the UK in the late 80's early 90's. Want to know the result??...............................A HUGE increase in Hospital Acquired...

  14. Alberta Health Services

    RGN1 replied to Fiona59's topic in Canada

    I just can't see it, the system would totally fall apart, I don't even think this govt could be that stupid could they? Well I hear they need nurses in Nunavit - not sure the kids would be too happy...

  15. Alberta Health Services

    RGN1 replied to Fiona59's topic in Canada

    If our unit fired all the nurses that have been here less than 24 months they'd only have about 7 members of staff left! As we have around 55 pts who are very acute surg oncology I can't see them...

  18. Canada's Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

    RGN1 replied to breech's topic in Canada

    I did exactly the same - went with the only current US license I had, which was NM. THere were some verification issues as NM won't provide paper verification anymore - it's all on-line but in the end...

  19. getting to nova scotia

    RGN1 replied to gemandy's topic in International Nursing

    it's pretty here in Alberta as well, hubbie was sensible & put up the Xmas lights when the last Chinnok blew through, just as well because with the weather now he wouldn't have a chance up on the...

  20. getting to nova scotia

    RGN1 replied to gemandy's topic in International Nursing

    You will cause yourself a lot more grief if you don't included your family. It doesn't take any longer to process than an individual TWP. Don't be fooled by false info on this. Do everything correctly...

  21. CRNE prep courses - which one to take?

    RGN1 replied to yk2009's topic in International Nursing

    Awwwww!! Now you've gone & dissapointed me!! Here I was happily deluded into believing Cow Town was the city in Alberta !!:D:D:jester: Not that I'd move mind

  22. transcript example

    RGN1 replied to Frederique-NL's topic in International Nursing

    The transcript from the University should list all the hours you have in theory & practice. I got them to send me a copy - which I was glad I did because they made a mistake on the 1st one! See if...

  23. Productive ward releasing time to care

    RGN1 replied to Jenze's topic in International Nursing

    We used to wear a flourescent orange tabbard with DO NOT DISTURB written in big black letters on the back when we did drug rounds. All it did was highlight where there was a nurse to all the...

  24. US educated nurse coming to Alberta to practice

    RGN1 replied to Klaurence09's topic in International Nursing

    It takes CARNA around 6 months to do their thing so you still have 2 to go!

  25. CRNE prep guide

    RGN1 replied to liton's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    The N-CLEX is NOTHING like the CRNE. I've done both exams so I speak from experience. The CNA prep book has questions that are by far closer to the real CRNE exam (although the exam is way trickier)...
