Hi.. I'm a nurse from BC, and i just want to ask if anyone knows anything about the IEN program of VCH? I just want to know how did you get accepted and what kind of program was it... Is it really 4 months long?so is it good?any feedback would be app...

Suzanne is right - if you have the funds, then go for it. If you are sure that you are coming to BC this may then better go for it now rather than later. However, CRNBC needs a mailing address, and as you're not here yet you wouldn't have one (well,...

Yes I did volunteer - My resume is littered with volunteer work in hospice care, community centres, assisted living and extended care facilities. I've volunteered in the downtown eastside. The whole nine yards. I did this while I was reviewing for th...

I understand where you're coming from. However - isn't it there a shortage of nurses though? Doesn't the public deserve more staff to care for them? Isn't almost half the population of canada immigrants? You cannot hide the fact that Canada, is reall...

/rant Both of them are slow. Sometimes, I don't really understand it. Here we are, qualified nurses from other countries who just passed all the barriers they put up, but apparently they still don't want us. Heck, it's so sad, it seems funny at time...

Based from my own experience, yeah, you can apply for registration even if you don't have hospital experience from the ph. I was a total noob when I started..I just followed the instructions of CRNBC with regards with my application, and it all went ...

Well.. check out this thread - https://allnurses.com/forums/f108/filipino-migrate-canada-what-do-become-rn-220413-4.html .... and turn to page 4. You might find the answer there... Good luck!

Hmm.. well, for my part they didn't ask me about any bridging program. I guess if you've already finished college, they don't care anymore about your grade school and high school.... Case in point - Back home, my sister just graduated 4th year HS in ...

Well.. i live here in vancouver (just migrated from the Philippines february last year, just passed the CRNE october last year and just got my license a week ago)so i know very well (based from my own experience) the process of being a nurse in BC. H...

well.. you can actually pay everything now, and schedule the exam date you want for next year ( or for any date that you want, for that matter). the college only wants your (satisfactory) credentials and payment, it's up to you whether you want to pr...

whoa... i can totally relate/understand what you're going through right now, as i (almost) underwent the exact same thing.. Well, based from my own experience, i guess the first thing you have to do is buy the current prep guide by the CNA. It helped...

thanks guys... and as homer keeps saying - "woo hoo!!"

Hey guys.. i'm here in vancouver, and i just got result today.. i passed hehe

i took the exam as well, and tomorrow (wed,nov. 7) will be exactly 4 weeks after the test..haven't gotten anything yet though.you get mail whether you fail or pass right? i've got a really important question to ask.. when you pass, does crnbc list yo...

Hi.. is there a five part examination in canada? Because I took it last oct. 10 and there are only 2 parts.. is there a 5 part canadian RN exam? This is because I am planning to take the nclex in california.. and in the introduction there is a senten...

ahhhhhh ok... thanks so much! and here i thought i can get an endorsement through california.. lol. on a side note, good luck to us who tested last oct. 10.. hope we all pass

what i did was i sent the forms to my uncle in the ph through fedex(or lbc if you want)..then he took care of both my prc and my transcript. it is so much more convenient and quicker, i advise you to do the same thing. when both my school and the PRC...

CRNBC processed it less than 2 months, because i at that time i didnt have my ielts result yet. when it came out, i got the forms for the CRNE in less than 2 weeks. I took the CRNE last oct. 10, 2007; in my opinion it was very hard.oh well..if you ha...

that is so NOT true. they will not release the validation until the PRC id comes out?!? they are lying. I migrated here in vancouver last feb (i am a december 2006 board passer in the ph), and my uncle processed both my transcript and prc validation....

CRNBC doesn't need the id card itself from the PRC. What they need is your verification sent by the PRC itself from the philippines.. i dunno what it looks like, as they dont accept hand submitted applications. I know for sure that it must come from ...

hello and welcome to the forums! it all depends on your school's curriculum. like the poster above me said, you need to contact (or visit the website - in my case, CRNBC.ca) them with regards to your subjects. in my case, they checked my transcript a...

You need to give the original form to your future employer. There will be an enclosed box within the form that the employer would have to fill out. Upon finishing this, submit the form to the CRNBC. and voila! upon verification the CRNBC will give yo...

Congratulations!! Once you received your official results from IELTS, then you can go straight to CRNBC to get your forms. Your forms will include the pink forms (form 17 i think) that will serve as your interim nurse registration form. Congratulatio...

Weee! this is encouraging, knowing i'm not alone.. lol I'm taking my exam this oct. 10 as well. I just received my confirmation letter yesterday (i'm taking the exam at the univ. of British Columbia).man, i am a nervous wreck right now, studying for ...

if you are in the Philippines right now, i strongly suggest you take the IELTS there. why? #1 - it less expensive (rather than taking it here in canada); #2 - alot more books and reviewers are available there. And #3 - the CRNBC requires you first to...
