Of course,In fact,I am so happy that I received my positive eligibility review yesterday.Well,I know there are many stumbling blocks to overcame,but at least,the first stage is over! With or with consultancy,the process is the same!

You don't need Pinoy Care or any consultancy for your Canadian Dream.By doing this,you can save a lot of money.The immigration process was not hard as I used to think.In fact,the Canadian government make the process very simple and their website is also very helpful and informative too! Well,you can also used the internet to find blogs about Canadian Immigration,and you will discover that many people around the world will share their experiences and opinions about the immigration process. I am also a Filipino,and I just submit my documents last month to the CIO(Centralize Intake Office) through the help of other people.Of course,it is time consuming but worth it! As I said,if we can pass the local board exam,and there is no reason that we can not understand the immigration process.It is just a matter of determination and prayers! Having an agency does not make the process faster.In fact,most of the time,it will cause a lot of delay,because their are many applicants documents subject to review for their so called Analyst wanna be.

Thanks for the info.I am also a R.N here in the Philippines,my friend last week who work as a R.N in Canada for 2 years,recommends 3 provinces only Saskatchewan,Manitoba and N.S.She told me specifically,this provinces were the fastest in terms of processing for eligibility and assessment,but what i have learned here that Saskatchewan was quite the opposite. I already lodged my papers to the embassy yesterday(thank God),and i am starting to review for Academic-Ielts:yeah: today and hopefully,I can start to apply in N.S by December or early next year.

Try not to go to any agency,do it on your own!Save money and earn experience.After all,we are R.Ns,we pass the board exam.

Thanks for the reply!

Hello guys, After reading many informations on this site espicially the previous old ones,it helps me a lot.However, i want to ask what is the nursing job update for International RNs.I mean the present situation in any Canadian provinces about nursing jobs,Becasue most of the informotion that i read posted last year.Hence,i have no job offers.I have not decided what province that i will apply.But based on my reseach on the previous post maybe N.S or Mannitoba.Since i am married,i need to consider my Family welfare also.My Canadian Ielts teacher told me here in Davao City that Quebec is a nice place to start,because of the benefits you can receive from the government. For starters,i am still on the process for my visa immigration applications,and just waiting for my IELTS-GT results this coming Friday,and after that i will my submit my papers to the embassy and I do it on my own without any help from any private companys.I just rely to other people experiences and also with this site info. Since i am targeting to work in Canada,I have to take the IELTS-Academic exam.I am little bet worried because when i check about the topics about CRNE or SEC assessment, i have no subject about Gerontology during my great nursing student days.I am working for 4 years now, and the last time I read nursing books was 2007.

hi,i am wondering if there is an expiration regarding Academic IELTS with respect to CRNE requirements.Right now,i am preparing for my General IELTS exam,of course,base on the input that i got on this site- I must take the Academic as well. Hoping you can share,thanks!

Oh yeaH!!! Based on my experience,i can say that if you take all the exams in nursing you can atleast notice whos the easy and the most difficult to pass.IF coordinator thinks,there's no comparrison.That's her opinion. I passed my local board exam lastdec 2005,i only focus topic like community,psychia,and O.b topics.then i passed my cgfns,and i can say i find it difficult if i didnt study hard on M.S,cgfns is like knowledge based questions.if you loved to read a lot!thank GOD.THEN I PASSED MY NCLEX, :nurse:ICAN SAY,THE BEST EXAM I TOOK.as the say,the more harder question you get,the greater change you will have.i really enjoy taking the nclex,because you can feel your answer is correct if your next question belongs to the difficult level.Even am still in # 45,i can feel i will stop or shot down at 75.its so cool!then i pass at 75. For me.local board exams is the most difficult among them all, during our time, the test writer themselves did not follow their own test plan,and not a textbook based questions.The NCLEX,the most easy among the them and the best exams i pass.i am not good in analysis,but i study hard in strategies to answer them. i prayed a lot!:bowingpur

GUYS, thxs for the reply....Life is too short.

blaming your self!!!!! U.S is not the only option, and i guess our super moderator doesnt want us to go U.S , not unless you very much more qualified.She is perfectly right! If we blame our leaders,Teachers and Others,i n the end of the day,what do you think we will accomplish for blaming them. i am a dec2005 passer,got marrieddec 2006 and right now i am still starting my life as R.N,i worked as a volunter in the government hospital here only last month. i dont blame myself:banghead:.U.S is having a retro right now and maybe recession. sO,next option New zeland:yeah:.if you really want to achieve your all american dream,you must have patience. For me, what i need is one year hosp.exp,and ielts exam for N.Z:no:.third option. n case i guess dubai, and qatar. Right now,work,work and work. By the way,i passed all my exams FOR U.S( CGFNS,NCLEX AND IELTS) last year.it means my family invested alot for the all american dream.In the end of day,we just pray.

gUYS, i JUST WANT TO ask if its not so hard going to N.z without going to any agency..I'm from davao city, and i guess N.Z embassy here in philippines is located somewhere in luzon. RIGHT now, my present status as a R.N still about to start.eVEN thought i am 2005DEC.passer,yet no hosp.exp at present. I read about the necessary requirements of going N.z,but i'm hoping that someone could share there experiences in going all the process without any agency aid. if i can't get all 7 band scores in EILTS,can i still apply in N.z iF MY OVERBAND SCORE IS 5.5? Is it really true THAT 1 year hosp.IS now need n N.Z? My goal will be N.Z and i guess U.S can wait......? a LOT OF MY FRNDS HERE is having a hard time to pass or to have a score of 7 in all categories:nono:.INspite the fact that the took the exams severe times already.

HI! Based on my experience, i stop at 75 and thanks to kaplan decision tree because it works for me.At first, i'm thinking that nclex exam is so hard,but i'm wrong, i guess the kaplan question trainer is much more harder. God Bless...

malefish, THey only record your scores ,if you answers the module.But in Q&A thing, for the record they dont.You know why,because the Q&A thing is just a practice purposes.By the way, if you are not convince,try to read again the introduction part and try to used also there technical system and ask a mentor,but HE/SHE will say, Q&A is just a practice purposes only.:welcome:

hi guys... i'm on my 2nd week of the 3 week subscription, and funny thing i dont have a lot of time to spent, studying the modules.my diagnostic exam result,is more than 60% and i find the Q & A quiet o.k.But, a little bit disappointed because the ncsbn does not give grade or record your scores. i finished all the Q&A's yesterday,and i will start all over again.my goal next week,to study again the kaplan Q&A,which i can say,better than ncsbn or better than any books or cd's that i have. i will take my exam next month....God bless to all.

i took my cgfns, last march 14,2007. After i received my result, for almost 3 months since then.i can't concentrate in doing my nclex study plan.i need to take a break.Even though, i passed the cgfns exam, and more than the score i am praying for. What bothers me most, was the style of the exam.I read the cgfns guide and its rationale for 10 times.Thank god, i read saunders and know a lot of management.I guess, cgfns is not only about patho,they tend to give a lot management lately, esp. E.R situations. One thing, during our exam, they give us only 30 mins for lunch.I am glad, i have a friends who share their food to me. my advice,for cgfns just expect the unexpected.you must know,the hallmark of sign and symptoms of any dieases. The thing i hate most about cgfns exam, its time pressured.i finish my exam, 30 mins before the time.And i dont have guts to recheck my answer due to anxiety, but the lord anwers my prayers.

one of my classmate here in PI, enrolled in kaplan.Unfortunetely,she failed.As far as i am concern, kaplan is good in terms of strategy.If you have the question trainer, its great.i will take my nclex this coming oct. 18, 2007. A lot of my friends,used the Q.T,before the take nclex and a lot of them passed.

whew!! honesty is the best policy..my grade 1 teacher told me about this.i guess, lets hope and pray for the good of everybody.

Chopsy, Thxs for the info.it really matters to me and at least i will have an ideal.

wow, its great thread with a lot of inputs that i need to know about.Guys, i want to ask, if you're a new r.n in the U.S esp. in Ca, working only 1 job for the moment, maybe 6 months or a year and of course, single.:chuckle Will Your income will be enough for the basic needs living in the California. I am newly R.N here in PI, without hosp. exp.,and planning to take nclex this coming Oct. 18, 2007.I am so much greatful for this thread, for the usedful info.Basically, i'm not confident regarding my skills.So my next question, does your training here in PI, really matter a lot in the U.S Hosp. Here, i'm able to attend a lot of free seminars conducted By various agency, some agency may say, at least a year or more, but other may say, no need to have an exp.,as they say, they will train you in the u.s. with pay 10dolars/hour for 3 months in california. Of course, im not tied up, as of now in any agency.i just loved to attend there seminars and eat ther free snacks( candy).:icon_cheesygrin: Right now, i am cgfns certified, 4 months and 18 days from now,i will take my nclex exam. Hoping you could share your ideas....

if you're weak on O.B, the computer will likely give you more O.B questions.If that the case, it is not random.But i guess, the more you will answer correctly, the harder it is.

Right now, im planning to take my nclex this coming oct 18, 2007(saipan).. Guys, hoping you can share with me your insight or advice..salamat po.

:welcome: a lot of nurses may say, it take 75, 100 or more test you need to answer daily for nclex exam.how many days or weeks you have done it? my test plan for nclex is only 4 months and 18 days, of course i will stick for saunders,and used suzenne study guide.i am cgfns certified, i passed it only last march 2007.But nclex is different, i guess i need to study once again FROM TOP TO BOTTOM:devil:.Because i have a great respect for the exam. I will take nclex exam this coming oct. 18, 2007. Guys, hoping you could share with me your winning formula for passing the nclex. THXS,,,,,,,,,,:monkeydance:
